Reviews

"Extraordinary...Dipachos artwork creates moments of visual poetry...Even readers initially indifferent to marine life will find themselves captivated by these creatures...This is not a book to rush through, but rather one to return to repeatedly, as each reading reveals more layers about migration patterns, whale behavior, and marine ecosystems...An unforgettable encounter that will spark a lifelong fascination with these extraordinary beings."

--Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)



"A wonderful addition for the elementary nonfiction shelves or for the budding marine scientist in the family."

--School Library Journal



"Gorgeous, thoroughly engaging, and in-depth...Lyrical, fact-filled, and kid-oriented."

--Booklist



"A beautiful ode to one of the earths most majestic creatures."

--Lori Sieling, Words Without Borders
