I came across this book earlier and since then I've always been interested in Orca whales. Thanks for the review!

I like that the author took their time to write about how dangerously close
to extinction these whales are and how beautiful they are as well as encourage people to protect them.

Whale of Wonders by Marie-Paule Mahoney wondered me when I read about the extinction of orca whales, and I appreciate the efforts of the author of this book for highlighting this problem in fiction.

This book following a conversation between orca whales sounds like a nice children's book. I like it that the illustrations in the book are very beautiful. And that it's simple and beautiful. However, I'm not a fan of this genre. Otherwise, congratulations on the BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an educational children's book about orca whales. The book follows a mother and child orca as they travel the ocean. The book is designed to teach children and readers about the endangered orca. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The book may be short but meaningful. Information about protecting wildlife and endangered species should spread further. Humans can do better.
