Perfect for fans of Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls, and with
beautiful colour illustrations throughout, Cappy and The Whale is a
unique and wonderful Ukrainian story which Puffin are proud to
publish in English for the very first time. One morning I glanced
out the window and saw a whale floating in the sky. The whale was
blue and grey, large and clumsy, yet he was just rolling along and
gliding on the warm sunny breeze with surprising grace. When
eight-year-old Cappy discovers a whale swimming outside of his
bedroom window, it's fair to say he's quite surprised. Given how
long he's spent in hospital, Cappy has had plenty of time to read a
LOT of books on animals, and he's never heard of a whale that can
fly. What with his leukaemia, Cappy's used to not being allowed to
do things he wants - like eating sweets, playing with dogs, or
roaming too far from his protective family - so he's delighted when
the amazing whale not only speaks to him, but asks him to join him
for a ride in the sky. Soon, Cappy and the whale are the best of
friends, and together they will go on an amazing journey of
imagination, hope and curiosity. To mark the publication of this
book in hardback, Puffin is donating GBP5000 to the National
Literacy Trust's campaign to support Ukrainian child refugees.
Puffin does not expect to make a profit from this title, but any
publisher profits driven by sales of the hardback book will
additionally be donated. More information on the scheme can be
