Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the concept of independence or asking big questions about what it means for a living creature to be truly free. It is a soul-stirring choice for children who feel a deep, almost spiritual connection to the natural world and are ready to explore the responsibilities that come with friendship. Based on a remarkable true story from the 1990s, the narrative follows Aydin, a beluga whale who escapes a laboratory and finds sanctuary with a young boy named Godar and his wise grandfather in a Turkish fishing village. Through poetic prose, it explores the tension between our desire to hold onto what we love and the necessity of letting go. Parents will appreciate the respectful, multi-generational bond between Godar and his grandfather, Badur, which provides a grounding moral compass for the story's emotional heights. It is best suited for children ages 9 to 12 who enjoy realistic stories with a touch of wonder.
