Follow along with the gray whale migration from the warm sandy shores of Mexico all the way up to the cold Arctic waters with our bilingual narrator, Juana, a newly born gray whale.  


I loved the bilingual text and thought the illustrations were engaging. I could see being a great read-aloud for a dual-language immersion class. It also could be a great book to add to a science picture book collection.
