There is a legend that a Great Spotted Whale lives in the ocean;
local fishermen still talk of it, although the first sighting fifty
years ago was never corroborated. Now, two young whale watchers
each set out to find the whale, one armed with sound recording
equipment, the other a camera. Mid-ocean their boats collide, so
they pool their resources and set off together to capture
incontrovertible proof that the mythical Great Spotted Whale
exists. The eventual sighting is a magical moment: the whale is
truly phenomenal, and swimming along beside her are two small whale
calves. The children return to shore, solid proof in hand. As an
added twist to the story, they discover that it was their own
grandparents who first sighted the Great Spotted Whale fifty years
ago. The Murrow's epic, wordless adventure is brought to life with
Ethan's stunning graphite drawings, which convey the drama and
haunting beauty of the ocean, and capture the majesty of this
awe-inspiring creature.
