“She studied whales at university, and wrote a very long essay about a whale that goes around the world alone because it sings at a different frequency than other whales. It can hear them, but they can’t hear it. I understand a little how that whale feels.”

This book was beautiful and sad and difficult and healing. The illustrations, the words, the family.

There’s a blurb on the back calling it a book about how it’s okay to not be okay and I think that’s exactly right.
