Waiting for the Whales

On a windswept bluff an elderly man tends his garden and waits each year for the whales to appear in the bay. His quiet life changes when a young visitor arrives and a gentle friendship begins amid sea and sky.

Through lyrical text and evocative seaside imagery, the story explores solitude eased by the natural world and the comfort of intergenerational connection. Its calm pacing and warm moments make it well suited to read-aloud time and family conversations.

Originally published more than thirty years ago and recognized with awards, this 32-page hardcover from Orca Book Publishers remains a poetic celebration of nature and human companionship.

  • Themes: nature, family, friendship
  • Great for read-aloud and discussion
  • Ocean- and whale-focused imagery
