What is My Friend Whale about?

Imagine having a blue whale as your friend! You could swim together every night, watching him create the biggest splashes. Along the way, you'd learn fascinating facts: despite being the world's largest animal, he has sensitive skin and no teeth; he can hold his breath underwater for an hour; he can't smell or taste, but his hearing surpasses ours. But one night, your friend disappears, leaving you to wonder where he's gone.
