Summary:

Nadaria, a humpback whale, is swimming in Antarctica waters. In the distance, penguins are lining up on an iceberg and jumping into the icy water. Soon, Nadaria needs to travel up to the tropical waters, due to food becoming scarce. While travelling, Nadaria spots a majestic whale shark, the largest fish in the ocean. she witnesses manta rays doing somersaults. They are scooping up plankton to eat. During her journey, Nadaria had her calf Mali. On their journey, they meet more interesting ocean creatures.

Notes:
  • In the story of the whale children’s book, the two whales arrive at the Great Barrier Reef. A steep wall of coral rises from the depths of the ocean. Many colourful fish live amongst the coral, because they can find hiding spots. Nadaria is pointing her flipper at a dugong heading towards sea grass to eat. She explains to her calf, that they feed their calves with milk too. Shelly the sea turtle is already feeding on sea grass. Nadaria and Mali are enjoying their time in the tropics, but it is time to return to Antarctica, where food will be plentiful once again. A pod of dolphins joins Mali as he practises breaching, before heading south. Nadaria waves goodbye with her large tail. Both humpback whales disappear into the depths of the ocean.
