A follow-up to I Love You, Blue, this new story has the same deceptive simplicity, in its ability to combine important issues with emotion and humour through art and story.

One day, Jonas the lighthouse keeper and his friend Blue the whale rescue a tired, bedraggled bird from the sea... a bird who has made a perilous journey from a far-off country, fleeing war and great danger. This beautiful story of care, refuge, and freedom is told and illustrated with compassion and empathy.
