Mom's Review
In the World of Whales is the breath-taking true story of a free diver who was present at the birth of a sperm whale. Told in short episodes interspersed with break for air, the narrative flows gently through the tentative introduction of a newborn calf to a human observer. The interaction is beautifully illustrated in soft aqua tones perfectly encapsulating the audience in the underwater environment. The text and images flow naturally like the event they portray.
This is absolutely one of a kind!
