"A mesmerizingly beautiful picture book which encourages a holistic view of the whale."
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month August 2023
Every whale was a baby once! And, like all babies, he is small (relatively) and vulnerable. How can he find his way in the enormous blue world deep down in the ocean that is his home?
First, he needs to learn to look around him, to work out what is safe and what is dangerous, who are friends and who might be enemies. As he grows he must know and respect his environment and to revel in the glory of the world he inhabits. Who can help him? His mother, of course!
From the moment of his arrival she guides him, teaching him wisdom and kindness that comes straight from her love for him. Deep is a mesmerizingly beautiful picture book which encourages a holistic view of the whale.

Go my little one, swim free, she whispered. I'll always be waiting here . . .
When a tiny whale calf is born, his mother raises him to the surface to take his first breath. She guides him as he grows, until he is strong enough to swim at her side, and they set off together on a great journey across the oceans.
One day, the time will come for the grown calf to set out on his own . . . but wherever he goes and whatever he does, his mother will be waiting for him and sending her song of love across the oceans.
