Librio Library #54 – The Boy and the Whale – Linde Faas
1 Minute ReadWhy we chose “The Boy and the whale”
Whales and children’s books are not only a very popular combination, but also one that works wonderfully together. This is the case with our most recent find for our Librio Library.
After nodding off in his small boat, the boy gets caught in a violent storm and unexpectedly encounters a whale way out at sea. This is the beginning of an unusual, beautiful friendship that he will never want to let go of.
Favorite Image
Linde Faas’s illustrations are wonderful. They almost have something magical about them in the way they manage to bring the different moods of the sea to life.
