The Night of the Whale
Picture book
Once a year, on a midsummer night, the whale arrived…
Dad, mum, the cat and I quickly climbed up onto the roof. We each waited in our places in silence. We smelt a scent of algae and salt. And it arrived… It eclipsed the moon… and showed us its belly… It approached my father… touched his forehead. It stayed with him a while, then left.
- The wonder of life and its fluctuations shown in a sequence of highly emotional images.
- A moving metaphor about love, family, and how time changes things.
- A poetic tale that teaches us to wait, to remember, and to believe in the magic of little things.
