By Megumi Iwasa, Jun Takabatake (Illustrator)
A retired whale seeks friendship through letters, sparking unexpected connections.
Professor Whale, now retired, pens letters to an unknown friend across the horizon, yearning for companionship beyond his title. As Seal and Pelican deliver his heartfelt messages, and Penguin takes on teaching, Whale dreams of a friend who might call him 'Whaley.' Amidst this correspondence, the Whale Point Olympics unfold, where penguins, whales, and seals discover that the true prize is friendship and laughter. Will Whale find the special connection he longs for, or will his letters drift unanswered across the sea?
Now that Professor Whale has retired, he writes many letters to You, Whoever You Are, Who Lives on the Other Side of the Horizon. Seal and Pelican are busy delivering the letters and Penguin is now teaching. Although he is happy his friends are doing so well, Whale wants a special friend;, who might call him by a friendly sort of name. Like Whaley, maybe, instead of Professor. In this charming follow-up to the international bestseller Yours Sincerely, Giraffe, another correspondence flourishes across the horizons. The letters bring penguins, whales, and seals together in the famous Whale Point Olympics, where the winners are friendship and humor.

“The story has some touching moments of kindness but on the whole is bland. The illustrations are too simplified.”
