Happy Humpback Whale

A happy humpback yearns for warmer seas, for the Antarctic is a little too cold, now that autumn is here. She's not alone in this grand old tradition, It's a northward journey that the humpbacks take every year.

An unforgettable book set in verse, this beautifully illustrated text tells the story of the one of our giants of the seas - the humpback whale. The happy humpback travels thousands of kilometres in its annual migration, visiting iconic Australian locations along the way.
