An awe-inspiring, lyrical story by award-winning author Claire Saxby, rendered by illustrator Peter Cheong in collage-style artwork that is equally eye catching and breathtaking.


Out in the open ocean where currents sway wild as wind,
where sharks and sea lions widely roam,
a whale falls.

The ocean comes alive in this incredible tale about the cycle of life. Watch the colours of marine creatures change as a whale falls towards the darkness of deep waters. Discover the extraordinary animals that live beyond the light.
