What is Hope the whale about?

Each year, a young boy watches from the shore as Hope, a blue whale, travels between the icy Arctic seas and the warm tropics. He follows her imagined adventures through changing seasons, as she swims past icebergs, polar bears and open oceans. When Hope suddenly disappears, the boy sets out to find her. This moving story celebrates a child’s lasting connection with a magnificent animal, followed by facts about real blue whales and their remarkable migrations.
