A tender and heart-warming story about the growing relationship between a boy and his grandmother, set in the world of The Storm Whale by bestselling picture book creator, Benji Davies, narrated by Richard E. Grant.
Noi isn’t at all sure about staying at Grandma’s. Grandma boils seaweed for soup, and there’s not much to do on the tiny island where she lives where the wind cuts in and the grass grows sideways . . .

But that’s before Noi gets swept up in the dramatic rescue that will mark the beginning of their touching new friendship.
