"Two hearts, one song.

A young whale and her mother sing together.

Heartbeat.

Then the mother is gone."

This book is a message of hope and responsibility to care for everything on Earth.

Title: Heartbeat

Author /  Illustration: Evan Turk

Publisher: Atheneum Books for Young Readers 

A new baby whale grows within her mother with one heartbeat. Unfortunately, after the calf is born, it loses its mother during a whale hunt. The whale calf lives on as a single (one) heartbeat. Many years later, a little girl's heartbeat begins to beat in tune with the calf's heartbeat. And so life moves on in this universe, healing and renewing itself!
