Ester is certain that she saw a whale on her class trip. It wasn't a rock. She's not just trying to get attention! But not even the teacher believes her. The lesson of the week about the ocean and space is supposed to end with a presentation, but Safia and Kornelia don't want to be in a group with Ester. They just think she's odd.Ester and the Whale is a story about feeling left out, and a story about having a very big friend who lives in the ocean.
