Then she has an idea: she should invent a way to "sing" to him! But he's three thousand miles away. When she learns about Blue 55, a real whale who is unable to speak to other whales, Iris understands how he must feel. I’ve worked as a sign language interpreter ever. In college I majored in psychology, but after taking some sign language courses, I decided that was a field I wanted to stick with. I found both of those fields in a roundabout way.

In the spirit of modern-day classics like Fish in a Tree and Counting by 7s comes the 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.
