Whale Song
A sumptuous non-fiction picture book by two of the most exciting talents in children's books today.
Listen! Listen! Somewhere in the deep, deep blue, a humpback whale is singing.
In this poignant non-fiction picture book, bestselling children's author Nicola Davies celebrates the beauty and power of the humpback whale's song. Humpback whales listen and learn songs from each other – copying the distinctive patterns and sounds. This extraordinary book follows the story of one whale's song as it spreads across the world's oceans.
With spectacular artwork by award-winning illustrator Britta Teckentrup, this is a celebration of the beauty and mystery of the natural world.
