Beyond the Sun: Solène's Orca Journey follows a young orca calf as she begins her first great migration along the Pacific coast with her mother and pod. Guided by love, tradition, and the rhythms of the ocean, Solène learns why orcas travel long distances, how families called pods work together, and why caring for the sea matters.
As Solène swims from the chilly waters of the Pacific Northwest toward warmer southern seas, she discovers the importance of teamwork, shared food, and listening to the wisdom of generations before her. Along the way, she encounters other ocean life, explores kelp forests, and begins to understand her mother's dream of a cleaner, healthier ocean.
Blending gentle storytelling with age-appropriate marine science, Beyond the Sun invites young readers to experience wonder first, then understanding, and finally care. This heartfelt picture book encourages empathy, curiosity, and respect for marine life while inspiring future stewards of our oceans.
Ideal for classrooms, libraries, and families who love nature-inspired stories with meaning.
