|title= Storm Whale
|rating= 5
|genre= For Sharing
|summary= This is one of the most beautiful picture books that I have read for a while.
 
''Bleak was the day and the wind whipped down
When I and my sisters walked to town…''
 
So begins this story of three sisters who set off to walk to the beach together in this stunning and rather special picture book. The cover illustration is reminiscent of traditional family holidays depicting three girls, hand in hand and wearing sunhats disappearing over sand dunes on their way to the beach. The story then departs from a typical seaside theme as the sisters find a stranded whale on the beach and spend the day in desperate attempts to save it.
