Every spring, Dario and his mother move to Cape Cod so his mother can work. And every spring, a right whale and her calf migrate north. Dario's loneliness is assuaged by the calf, which seems to respond to the Brazilian boy's actions. Infused with blues and greens, the illustrations nicely capture Dario's feelings and the seaside setting. A note about right whales is appended.
