The Snail and the Whale - by Julia Donaldson

I ask for a ride around the world. Thus, writing on the dark rock, the fearless little snail launches its ideas into the sea. Dreamy and curious, he is not content with just contemplating the immensity of the world from dry land, like his peers. On a starry night, a humpback dedicates a song to the mollusk about sparkling ice, coral caves, shooting stars and phenomenal waves. It is an invitation, she says: Come sail with me. The two go out and experience great emotions: from the great beauty of the aquatic universe to the important appeal for environmental awareness. For those who think that the whale has more to show, since it is big and dominates those waters, a note: it needs the snail and a kind society to continue diving.
