It is fine if children not yet reading use their own words for this. Talk about the story Children could make up their own story about Noi and the whale and what might happen if they meet again or you could make up one together. When children have made up their story they could write it down. See here for a special story sheet. Family is also at the heart of renowned novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s debut for children, Mama’s Sleeping Scarf (HarperCollins), with art by Joelle Avelino. Adichie became a mother in 2016 and has previously published a book of advice about how to raise a feminist daughter, Dear Ijeawele, Or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions. Her new picture book features a child called Chino, who enjoys playing with the hair scarf her Mama wears to bed while Mama goes to work and she stays home with her father and grandparents. At once a peek into a day in the life of a toddler, it is also a tender act of memorial, as Adichie writes under the pseudonym Nwa Grace-James – in honour of her deceased parents, James and Grace. The recurring pattern of Mama’s vivid green scarf, decorated with bright red and blue rings and beautifully reproduced on the endsheets, poignantly evokes a sense of the circle of life. Give your child a simple folded paper book. They could pretend they are Noi and write their diary in it – telling how he found the whale and took it home.

It took some time to get out into the bay and there was a guide who kept an eye out and let us know where to look, waiting and watching as the boat plunged up and down with the swell and we ploughed further out towards the open seas.

It took about 45 minutes to get there – that’s all it takes to fly right across Iceland, which is not a very big country. Once we landed it was only a short bus-ride toHúsavík, a sailing port with a beautiful view of snow covered mountains across the bay. We climbed aboard our vessel, a large oak bottomed boat with a little white bearded captain at the helm, alongside many other whale tourists who had come here from all over the world to see the same magnificent creatures that we had. On the second day of our trip, we had to get up very early in the morning and go to a small airport in the capital Reykjavik where we caught a tiny 18 seater plane northwards to Húsavík. Although it was summer, Iceland lived up to its chilly sounding name. It was cold and raining as we took off – even so, it was very exciting! The two propellers spun round and the little plane lifted up and up until it was high above the clouds, up above the rain and into the bright sunshine. This summer after having written two books about The Storm Whale, and never having seen a whale in the wild, I decided it was about time that I did. My wife and I chose to visit Iceland – we had wanted to go there for a long time – and whilst there we would make a special trip to see some whales with our own eyes. I had heard that the best place in Europe to see whales, the whale-watching hotspot, was in the north of Iceland near a place called Húsavík. I’ve always admired whales, they are so big but gentle, and they have a mystical otherworldliness about them living in their vast underwater worlds. We are privileged to be sharing this planet with them, as with all creatures, but they in particular seem so ancient and wise. I feel that humans will never understand as much about just ‘being’ as these amazing giants do – it’s a great tragedy that we choose to act as if we are superior to them as a species, when we are anything but.Using voices or improvise instruments to make the sounds of a stormy sea. This is more fun if you do it together, perhaps recording your stormy sea sound effects.
