Calf is a newborn humpback whale, venturing into an exciting marine world while being nurtured and cared for by his mother.

See the challenges Calf and Whale face as they head down into the icy waters of Antarctica, and marvel at these amazing ocean giants.

Trade Review
"Readers will learn about breeding, feeding, communication, food chains and some of the threats faced by whales. Non-fiction information is softened by lyrical descriptions – ‘painting a picture’ rather than just recounting the facts. Samantha Metcalfe specialises in wildlife illustration, and this is evident in the detail and realism of her illustrations." -- Laura Holloway * CBCA Reading Time *
