Ella's world turns upside down when her mum falls into a coma after giving birth to her baby brother, Samson.

Inspired by the idea that whale songs can reach across vast oceans, she hopes that playing these melodies might awaken her mum. This heartfelt story explores resilience, family bonds, and the power of hope.
