Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly
5.0
What a beautiful story! We follow Iris, a young deaf girl, who learns about Blue 55, a whale who sings at a different frequency than any other whale. Blue 55 keeps singing and swimming even though he's not understood or accepted by other whale pods. Iris feels connected to Blue 55 and is determined to somehow help him know he is heard.
Iris is such an endearing character. She is lonely but not despairing. She has such a strength and is so loveable. I love how Kelly portrays deafness in this book. There are real moments of frustration, even at home, but so much love too.
An absolutely heart-warming read.
