An uplifting story about love, family, and finding the courage to forge your own path.

'An absolute masterpiece' - David Litchfield, award-winning illustrator

'A wonder' - Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky Song

'A book to read again and again' - BookTrust

When a tiny whale calf is born, his mother raises him to the surface to take his first breath. She guides him as he grows, until he is strong enough to swim at her side, and they set off together on a great journey across the oceans.

One day, the time will come for the grown calf to set out on his own... but wherever he goes and whatever he does, his mother will be waiting for him and sending her song of love across the oceans.

Filled with luminous artwork, this universal story about love and family is perfect for readers young and old.

About the Author

Stephen Hogtun is a writer and artist who lives on the west coast of Norway with his partner, two children and several rescue animals. His house sits on the edge of a beautiful fjord, and his artwork is inspired both by the love he feels for his family and the views he sees from his window. This is his second picture book for Bloomsbury, following his acclaimed debut, Leaves.
