Illustrated by
Jon Van Zyle.
London's lyrical text and Van Zyle's dramatic paintings dominated by blues and purples tell the story of Baby Whale's birth and her pod's summer migration to northern waters. An informative afterword supplies additional facts about sperm whales, and a reader's guide offers thoughtful ideas for discussion of both the scientific and poetic aspects of the text.
