"The snail and the whale" By Julia Donaldson and  Axel Scheffler

I chose this story as it links in with the Sustainable Development Goal 14 ‘Life below water’, This story links with this goal as it is about a whale who takes a snail on an adventure across the sea but then the whale loses his way and became laying beached in the bay, the snail then has an idea to help he whale and goes to the school and writes on the chalkboard ‘save the whale’ the children, fighter fighters and the adults went to help the whale, the tide came back into the bay and the snail and the whale were able to travel safely and they made their way back to the dock and then the whale then let all the snails on his tail and they sang and set sail on the whales tail. This book links in with goal 14 as it shows the reader the children helping the whale and shows the importance of protecting ocean life to the reader.

The theme of the story is resilience and shows the reader that no matter how small they are, they can achieve great things if they put their mind to it.
