Show Us Where You Live, Humpback
Show Us Where You Live, Humpback
“Reflects great admiration and wonder for all humpback whales ... A true homage to these wondrous creatures.” —Kirkus (STARRED Review)
This evocative picture book celebrates a child’s connection and kinship with whales.
Swimming, singing, and blowing bubbles—children and baby whales love many of the same things! This lyrical picture book shows us how whales’ underwater lives are touchingly like our own.
Patterned in a call-and-response format, Show Us Where You Live, Humpback begs to be read aloud at bedtime, and includes:
- Wondrous facts about humpback whales
- A celebration of our connection with the natural world
- Beautiful and captivating illustrations
At the story’s end, acclaimed author Beryl Young and debut illustrator Sakika Kikuchi leave readers gently falling asleep, dreaming of the wonderful world we share with whales.
