A beautiful and timely story of how one girl turns fear into courage with the help of a friendly whale, from internationally acclaimed and award-winning author-illustrator, Britta Teckentrup.
Ella sits alone in a boat, battling waves so high they touch the sky. A bodiless voice beneath the surface of the sea tells her it is hopeless, she'll never find land, she'll never be safe... But there are kind voices at sea too - ones that offer encouragement, support and the promise of hope.
With the kindness of a small white bird, a lesson from a pod of porpoises and the support of a gentle whale, Ella finds her courage and discovers she was never alone.
A story that serves as a reminder that though we may face our fears alone, we are all in this together.
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
