Book Synopsis

Award-winning illustrator Daniel Frost tells a tale of kinship and beauty in the wilderness of the Arctic Circle. There is an animal in the nearby waters that is six times the size of a house and has a heart as big as a boat, yet no one knows where it roams. This is a place where the waters are vast and deep, the skies breathe magic, and two lost siblings find an unlikely friend. The Children and the Whale is a bedtime story, a magical journey and reminder to enjoy the adventurous moments we create in the world.

Review Quotes

Incredibly beautiful pictures set in the Arctic - two children, icebergs, and Arctic fauna - accompany a powerful story of love and strength. This depiction of sibling dynamics may resonate with children who sometimes disagree with their brother or sister but love them unconditionally, even if not admittedly. Moreover, it reinforces the idea of positive sibling dynamics. -- Glass of Wine, Glass of Milk
