El Canto de Las Ballenas (Hardcover)

from ecarlson2014

A picture book about a grandmother who tells her granddaughter a story about her childhood and how as a young girl she would hear the whales sing. Written off as a legend, her granddaughter will find out whether or not the whales really sing.

from McKennaMiller

I was always very into stories that were mysterious and magical as a child. I also loved whales so this was one of my favorites. I love when grandparents are in stories where they tell stories to the young ones in the family about things they use to do.

from engpunk77

Similar in theme to her other picture book, Under the Moon, with beautiful paintings. Sheldon's protagonists in both are children who are trying to connect to the past and/or with nature.

Gorgeous, for all ages.  Concise (at least as I read it, in an anthology that seems to have avoided abridging the included selections).

from bookwren

Perfect meld of story and illustrations.
