Young Noi, on his own during the day, finds a little whale washed up on shore, brings it home, and cares for it in the bathtub. They spend a pleasant day together, but Noi worries his hard-working dad will be angry. Instead Noi's father realizes his son needs companionship. Spare text lets the striking illustrations do much of the physical and emotional scene-setting.
