In the spirit of modern-day classics like Fish in a Tree and Counting by 7s comes the Schneider Family Book Award-winning story of a deaf girl's connection to a whale whose song can't be heard by his species, and the journey she takes to help him. From fixing the class computer to repairing old radios, twelve-year-old Iris is a tech genius. But she's the only deaf person in her school, so people often treat her like she's not very smart. If you've ever felt like no one was listening to you, then you know how hard that can be. When she learns about Blue 55, a real whale who is unable to speak to other whales, Iris understands how he must feel. Then she has an idea: she should invent a way to "sing" to him! But he's three thousand miles away. How will she play her song for him? Full of heart and poignancy, this affecting story by sign language interpreter Lynne Kelly shows how a little determination can make big waves. "Fascinating, brave, and tender...a triumph." --Katherine Applegate, Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan

Download The Whale Who Could Not Sing Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Meet Mafu, the humpback whale who can not sing. He is ridiculed by the other sea creatures for not being able to sing like the other humpbacks. Mafu is a popular Tonganese name which means 'heart'. This particular humpback whale has a HUGE and is sensitive to the other animals slurs. One day he has a chance encounter with a butterfly that was swept out to sea in a storm, called Papahi (meaning mischievously smart!) and his life changes forever. The two go on a great adventure, teaching each other the value of friendship, confidence and self love, regardless of how unlikely the pair may look. After meeting, Mafu agrees to help Papahi back to her home island and in exchange Papahi promises to introduce Mafu to the island birds who will teach him to sing! It is the perfect deal, so they set off together into the sunset, excited at the prospect of Mafu achieving his dreams of one day being able to sing like the other whales. However, when they arrive at Papahi's island a bird lands on the humpback's head, causing him to sing out in pain. It turns out he could always sing, but he had never had the confidence to try.
