Book excerpt: 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 or read book Whales written by Bold Kids and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humpback whales perform impressive tricks. Their huge mouths produce sounds that are almost as high as the piano. One of their most notable tricks is singing! The male of the species, also known as the humpback whale, can sing for up to 30 minutes at a time. Its singing ability makes it possible for it to make an impressive performance! The songs, known as'songs', are composed of varying pitches.Many species of whales use sound to communicate with one another. Blue whales produce the loudest noise of any animal in the world. These sounds travel 500 miles or more under water, and they can be heard from hundreds of miles away. This is considered an incredible feat because it allows a whale's song to be heard from hundreds of miles away. Moreover, these animals are air-breathing mammals, which means they feed their young by milk, and teach them life skills.
