Summary: Beautiful, loving story, exceptional paintings.
Comment: As a homeschooling parent I read this book with my children as we were doing a unit study on sound.
Whales have a the ability to make a much higher pitched sound than the human ear can hear. It is their song, or communicating which facinates us.
This book offers magnificent and realistic paintings which will delight your eyes as well as your heart.
The grandmother tells of the whales, is it real or fantasy? All the while a great uncle so blatently informs the little girl what whales were used for in the past.
As we know, whales have much larger brains then ours- who is to say they would not sing for a kind gesture from a loving stranger?
This book has found a special place in our home library, I hope it will for you or someone you love as well.

Summary: Not my niece's favorite
Comment: First, let me say that the illustrations in this book are exquisit. The oil paintings are absolutely fabulous. However, they are a little dark and my niece seems to have a hard time relating to them at times.
The story is good, but not excellent. The relationship between the main character and her grandmother is very well drawn. However, the book wavers between real life and the dream world. At the end of the book when the whales call the main character's name, we had to answer questions about whether the girl was going to live with the whales forever because they had called her.
This is not a bad book, but a bit too disquieting to become a favorite for us.

Summary: Beatriz and Constantin's review
Comment: When we first read this book, we played the sound of the whales for our 7 year old son Constantin, so he could relate to the story and its magic. The illustrations are beautiful and very powerful. This book also presents a lovely relationship between a little girl and her grandmother, both of them dreamers and believers who disregard whoever makes fun of them and their ideas. We read this book in Spanish and liked it so much that ordered it in English.
