中文简介：

外公去世后，女孩和母亲踏上了外公为她安排的旅程，划着皮艇沿着太平洋西海岸寻找外公喜爱的鲸鱼。

妈妈说，这趟旅行对她们有好处，但女孩并不确定。外公不在，这怎么可能呢？她们又怎么能在那么广阔的海洋中找到鲸鱼呢？

当她们划过白色的浪尖和平静的海湾时，可以看到很多东西：发光的月水母、飘动的海葵和滑溜溜的海豹。女孩一边划一边寻找鲸鱼。它们会不会在她们的皮划艇下方游泳，或者在她们营地的海岸边游荡呢？鲸鱼真的在那里吗？

终于，在漆黑的夜里，她们听到了鲸鱼的声音——“噗嗤，噗嗤”——座头鲸在海湾呼吸。

在这个由克莉斯多·史密斯（Crystal Smith ）绘制的抒情故事中，妈妈和女儿在大自然的野性之美中找到了哀悼外公和重新建立联系的空间。她们逐渐意识到，也许就像鲸鱼一样，我们所爱的人永远与我们同在，即使我们再也看不到他们。

英文简介：

After Grandpa dies, a girl and her mother take the trip he had planned for her, kayaking along the Pacific west coast to look for the whales that he loved.

The trip will do them good, Mom says, but the girl isn’t sure. How can that be true when Grandpa isn’t there? And how will they find a whale in all that water, anyway?

There is so much to see as they paddle through white-tipped waves and calm coves: glowing moon jellies, fluttering anemones and slippery seals. All the while, the girl watches for whales. Could one be swimming beneath their kayak or along the shore of their camp? Are the whales even there?

Finally, in the dark of night, they hear them ― pushhhhhhhh, pushhhhhhh ― humpbacks breathing in the bay.

In this lyrical story, luminously illustrated by Crystal Smith, mom and daughter find the space to grieve Grandpa and reconnect with each other in the wild beauty of nature. And they come to realize that ― perhaps like whales ― those we’ve loved are always with us, even if we don’t see them anymore.
