An educational and entertaining series of poems providing readers an insight into the various species of whale living across the world. Each species is described through Nicola's poetic responses to encountering them for the first time, accompanied by her own illustrations. Also included are factual notes detailed from Nicola's years of experience working in the natural world. Nicola Davies' life was changed when she went to study humpback whales in Canada. In the forty years since that day, they have never lost their magic for her and have led her on adventures around the world. This book is her love letter, in poems, memoir and illustrations, to the animals who stole her heart and to whom each one of us is connected through every breath we take. AUTHOR: Nicola Davies is the author of more than 80 books including picture books, non-fiction, fiction and poetry for children and adults. She has written widely on many subjects including environmental science, children's rights, disability, grief and refugees.
