The Fisherman & the Whale

Jessica Lanan, illustrated by Jessica Lanan

The Fisherman & the Whale is a wordless story about a fisherman who takes his son out on the water. Their trip brings them into the natural world of the sea, where a magnificent whale is entangled in fishing lines. Watercolor and gouache illustrations depict the whale’s distress, and an author’s note accompanies the visual narrative. The book centers on a parent and child, fishing, and a whale affected by human gear.

Each new arrangement produces a different, often humorous prompt, which readers can answer or use as the beginning of an imagined tale. The mix-and-match format lets illustrations and questions shift together, creating many possible story setups rather than one fixed narrative. Readers build their own situations by choosing page combinations and then inventing what happens within them.Five to NineOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
