Maybe a Whale by Kirsten Pendreigh and Crystal Smith. From a bird’s eye view, two people are seen sitting in a yellow kayak paddling across the calm, open ocean. Their paddling creates small, white curls in the light blue water. A large silhouette of a humpback whale is visible swimming below the water, beside the kayak. The head of a second whale is seen swimming on the other side of the kayak.
