Whale has a happy life. A home in the blue-deep waters of the sea, a family that splashes and twirls and plays in the waves, clouds of silvery fish to eat. What more could he need?
But one day Whale sees a ship tossed on the waves by a storm, and hears God's command to save a drowning man. Whale is not sure what to do with the man Jonah, but he obeys God anyways.
Giuliano Ferri's soft, inviting paintings and Eileen Spinelli's moving yet humorous text brings new life to this familiar and unforgettable story.
