Les baleines et nous

A story that navigates between editorial, science and storytelling!

There are several legends about whales, whether in oral tradition or in literature... But what is true in these legends? Do we really know whales?

India Desjardins offers La baleine et nous, a magnificent work (and brilliantly illustrated by Nathalie Dion) which amazes with its beauty, its intelligence, the fact that it informs and allows you to have a whole new look at whales. The hybrid form of this album accentuates its educational potential. We sometimes find documentary information on different types of whales, sometimes anecdotes or legends. It is a very complete work that also raises awareness and awareness among readers of these marine mammals.
