The Boy and the Whale by Mordicai Gerstein
A boy and his father discover a whale tangled in their only fishing net. Is the whale dead? While the man worries about losing their net, the boy worries about the whale. He remembers the fear he felt when, caught in a net himself in childhood, he almost drowned before being rescued by his father. When the whale blinks an enormous eye, the boy knows that he has to try to save the creature, no matter how dangerous doing so may be.
Expressive and perfectly paced, this powerful story, The Boy and the Whale, by Caldecott Medal-winner Mordicai Gerstein was inspired in part by a real-life video of a whale's rescue, and the creature's joyful dance through the waves after being freed.Mordicai Gerstein is the internationally recognized author and artist of over forty books, many of which he himself wrote. His books are routinely designated as ALA Noteworthy, and he has won the New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year award three times. The Man Who Went Between the Towers earned Mordicai the Caldecott Medal in 2004. Mordicai is a character who resides in western Massachusetts.
