About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about the natural world or expresses a deep fascination with the giants of the ocean. It is perfect for the student who thrives on facts but prefers the visual storytelling of a comic over a dry textbook. The story follows a young blue whale and a cheeky remora fish as they journey through the ocean, explaining how whales evolved from land mammals to deep sea divers. While the book is packed with scientific data regarding biology and echolocation, it also touches on the emotional weight of conservation and the human impact on marine life. It is an excellent choice for building scientific literacy and empathy for the environment in middle grade readers. Parents will appreciate how it treats children as capable scientists while maintaining a sense of wonder and humor throughout.
