A Symphony of Whales

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Peter Sylvada. When Glashka discovers thousands of whales trapped in an inlet by ice, the whole village helps keep them alive until a nearby ship can clear a channel to the open sea. Inspired by an actual event, the story's only misstep is the contrivance of Glashka's dream-inspired solution. Impressionistic earth-toned oil paintings capture the sweep of the landscape but keep readers at a distance, depicting Glashka's face only once.
