Summary: This book tells the story of a young boy, Noi, who lives together with his father and six cats by the sea. Noi is often left on his own because his father is a fisherman and has long working days on his boat. One day, Noi finds a baby whale on the beach; he knows it needs to be in water and takes it home and puts it into the bath tub. When his father sees the whale, he understands that Noi feels lonely and needs company. Together, they take the baby whale back to the sea where it belongs. The pictures are colourful and expressive.
