The Boy and the Whale

40 pp. | Roaring Brook | November, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62672-505-8 $17.99
(2) K-3 When a whale gets caught in a father-son pair's only fishing net, the father goes off in search of a replacement net, while the boy risks his life to free the whale. The art is dazzling: a cinematic, dramatically paced series of spreads captures the boy's joy at freeing the whale, his uncertainty when it dives and disappears, and his awe when it explodes out of the water.
