Bookroo's summary

In simple, poetic words and bold paintings, Cynthia Rylant celebrates whales, from the blue and humpback to the fin and bowhead. Readers glimpse how these gentle giants swim, breathe, sing and play in the open ocean, and why they stir the human spirit.

From the publisher

Far from land, in the dark blue sea, whales are gliding through the ocean, rolling in the water, smacking the waves with their flukes. With splashes of color and a simple, poetic text, Cynthia Rylant celebrates the joy and quiet dignity of these gentle giants of the deep.
