I think being a whale must be rather lonely, sometimes.

      I scanned them from a picture book, not very well, I’m sorry.

    Lovely illustrations!
    I do think it must be lonely sometimes to be a whale. it’s like, no matter how big you are, the world is still too big for you.

    • Skylark said:

      I think we all feel a bit like that sometimes. Peter Sis is very talented, take a look at his other work if you have time.

      I want to go on a whale watching tour sometime, they have them on the coast here, and take photos of real whales!

      • Hendrix said:

        I’ve always wanted to go whale-watching (when I was little, whales and dolphins were my favourite animals). I may get my chance soon, fingers crossed!

    Oooh, whales are so pretty! You’re right though, it must be lonely, especially if all of the other sea creatures are most likely going to be afraid of you!

    • Skylark said:

      They have such a sad grace to them, they seem so gentle. I can’t imagine being afraid of a whale.

    but…whales travel in pods…always with their family.

    Ooh, I love these… they remind me of a picture book I had as a child, the art was very different and I don’t even think there were any whales in it but now I really wish I could read that book. I even wish I could find it online but I guess it was pretty obscure, a little French picture book about a fisherman who never catches any fish because he spends all day catching clouds instead.

    this made me a little sad…

      You can’t see very well in this size, but the whale is smiling : )

    I think it must be a little lonely being anything at some point.

    What lovely illustrations!

    It might be lonely to be a whale, but they can hear each other singing from miles and miles away, so they know they’re never alone. :)

    • Skylark said:

      Oh, whale song is so beautiful and eerie… you’re right though.

    But I think beeing the only Great Kraken in the world, ever would be lonelier…

    ((please, i meant the Kraken from Island of the Aunts, not the monster ))\
