A song across the ocean

Whale’s music brings comfort to the sea creatures who hear it, even as he longs for a song that can answer the emptiness he feels. When his sigh travels through the ocean, the story turns toward connection and the care creatures can offer one another. Anna Pignataro frames kindness and empathy through a marine-life tale about loneliness, hope, and responding to someone in need. The publisher describes the text as poetic and the illustrations as striking; this edition is presented as a board book.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A choice for young children interested in whales and other sea creatures.
  • Suitable for families seeking a picture book about kindness, empathy, and helping a friend.
  • The board-book format may work well for a new-baby gift.

Book overview

In this beautiful story of kindness and empathy, loneliness and love, one creature finds that the help he needs is just a song and a sigh away. Now available as a board book--a perfect new baby gift!

Whale's beautiful song winds its way through the ocean, reaching the farthest of faraways. His song is one of happiness and hope, magic and wonder--and Whale's fellow sea creatures are calmed, cheered, and lulled by it. But though Whale sings his tender song day after day, night after night, he wonders why he has no song to fill his empty heart. So when he lets out a mournful sigh, the ocean carries it like a wish through its fathoms, bringing it to just the right place.

Filled with stunning art and poetic text, this poignant story reminds us that being kind and helping a friend in need are sometimes the most beautiful things of all.
