The Whale That Sings in the Deep

A young blue whale sings and travels, experiencing the wonders—and dangers—of the deep in this visually stunning picture book journey from the author-illustrator of The Tree That’s Meant to Be.

A young blue whale leaves his Arctic home and begins the long migration that will shape his life, sharing his song as he travels through changing seas, shifting weather, and encounters with creatures big and small.

Told through the whale’s own words, this gentle story lets readers experience the beauty and challenges of life in the open ocean—feeling the pang of leaving home, the comfort of family far away, and the strength it takes to keep going when the journey becomes difficult.

The Whale That Sings in the Deep pairs Yuval Zommer’s signature lush artwork with real science, giving young readers both an emotional journey and a clear understanding of whales and their migration. A nonfiction afterword provides accessible facts about whale biology, communication, and conservation.
