A riotous celebration of family that gently deals with the forgetfulness many children will experience in their loved ones, and the power that music and objects from their past can have. On Mondays after school, Great-Aunt Margot always has a good story to tell her great-niece... or a dance to dance, or a game to enjoy together. But lately she’s been forgetting things, and she doesn’t always feel quite the way she used to. Her great-niece sees rich and vibrant memories all around Margot’s apartment, and comes up with a plan to help bring back the twinkle in her eye...

And I know then what the Night Whale is saying. I understand. "Anything is possible." A grandmother and grandchild look out for the Night Whale, a magical sky creature last seen when Nana was a child herself. The story transports the reader off to a world of wonder and beauty, as they soar over cities and landscapes on the back of the Night Whale, far away from home and back again. This is a beautifully lyrical and stunningly illustrated picture book about adventures and moving on, helping children to come to terms with saying goodbye, and the majestic Night Whale's reassuring message is that anything is possible.
