Molly and Dylan wake up one morning to find a whale washed up on the beach.

Molly's dad shows them how to care for the whale as they wait for the tide to come in. Molly sings to calm her, while the children and their friends work together to keep her cool and wet. But will they manage to help the whale back into the sea in time?

A sequel to the acclaimed Molly and the Stormy Sea, this is a moving tale from a master storyteller and illustrator about working together to help make something wonderful happen.

Written by Malachy Doyle and illustrated by Andrew Whitson.

'With lovely, simple, emotional text, the reader is placed right in the story; feeling every moment and effort and really invested in the outcome. [...] There is a real sense of community in this book; reliance upon each other, working together with a common, selfless goal. As the story goes on, the sense of compassion and empathy builds, encompassing every page. (And this is done as much through the illustrations as the text.) Gripping, evocative, caring and quietly joyous.' Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories

'This is a moving tale from a skilful storyteller and equally talented illustrator about the power of empathy and teamwork. Doyle's engaging narrative is vividly brought to life by Whitson's colourful artwork.' Jenny White, Western Mail
