Product Information

Noi was so happy to find his dad. They safely reach home and never fails to remember the story of the snowy night and how the storm whale rescued Noi, just like he rescued it last summer. A beautiful ending just like the last sequel. Noi with his dad We climbed aboard our vessel, a large oak bottomed boat with a little white bearded captain at the helm, alongside many other whale tourists who had come here from all over the world to see the same magnificent creatures that we had.

Intensely atmospheric, full of biting cold, tender detail and warm light, this is a book to cuddle up with” – The Guardian It took some time to get out into the bay and there was a guide who kept an eye out and let us know where to look, waiting and watching as the boat plunged up and down with the swell and we ploughed further out towards the open seas. Noi and his father live in a house by the sea, on a small island that doesn't seem to have many inhabitants. Because Noi's father works long days on his fishing boat and doesn't return until after dark, Noi is often on his own. One day, while exploring on the beach after a storm has hit, Noi finds a baby whale washed up on shore. With the affection and good intentions unique to a young child, Noi decides to take the whale home and look after him. Happy to have a friend who we can speak to but conscious he willl not be allowed to keep the whale, Noi tries to hide the whale from his father. But there is only so long you can keep a whale in the bathtub a secret. When his father finds the whale and explains that he must be returned to the sea, Noi learns a valuable lesson from the experience, but so does his father. The story of a girl, a whale and a friendship that will echo down the generations, from best-selling, award-winning picture book creator, Benji Davies, author of The Storm Whale.

This cookie is set by TVSquared to measure impressions, reach and outcomes across linear and digital TV.This summer after having written two books about The Storm Whale, and never having seen a whale in the wild, I decided it was about time that I did. My wife and I chose to visit Iceland – we had wanted to go there for a long time – and whilst there we would make a special trip to see some whales with our own eyes. I had heard that the best place in Europe to see whales, the whale-watching hotspot, was in the north of Iceland near a place called Húsavík. Children could make up their own story about Noi and the whale and what might happen if they meet again or you could make up one together. When children have made up their story they could write it down. See here for a special story sheet. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.
