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.
