Description

In the warm tropical waters off the north Australian coast, a very special whale is born: Migaloo, the only all-white humpback whale in the world. As he and his pod make their annual migration to Antarctica, Migaloo discovers the beauty, wonder and danger of a whale's journey. Mark Wilson's exquisite illustrations capture the grace and intelligence of these extraordinary creatures, who enchant whale-watchers around the world.

Reviews

Wilson's ability to effectively use a range of styles and media, as well as his expressionistic use of colour, body language and framing, ensures his storytelling is thought-provoking and evocative. (On THE AFGHANISTAN PUP) - Canberra Times In VIETNAM DIARY, Wilson has produced a worthy successor to his wartime tales MY MOTHER'S EYES and ANGEL OF KOKODA. - West Australian
