Beskrivning

'Where land becomes sky and the sky becomes sea,I first saw the whale, and the whale first saw me.And high on the breeze came his sweet-sounding song'I've so much to show you, if you'll come along'. Come on a magical journey of wonder and discovery from misty seaside shorelines to cold ice capped seas. This beautiful tale of friendship between a child and a whale invites us to consider our responsibilities towards the environment and makes a direct plea to end plastic pollution.
