How can that be true when Grandpa isn't there? And how will they find a whale in all that water, anyway?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is so much to see as they paddle through white-tipped waves and calm coves: glowing moon jellies, fluttering anemones and slippery seals. All the while, the girl watches for whales. Could one be swimming beneath their kayak or along the shore of their camp? Are the whales even there?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, in the dark of night, they hear them - pushhhhhhhh, pushhhhhhh - humpbacks breathing in the bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this lyrical story, luminously illustrated by Crystal Smith, mom and daughter find the space to grieve Grandpa and reconnect with each other in the wild beauty of nature.
