Este artigo analisa dois livros infantis, The Whale Watchers (2022), escrito por Dougie Poynter e ilustrado por Amberin Huq, e Calling the Whales (2023), escrito por Jasbinder Bilan e ilustrado por Skylar White, bem como um livro-álbum, The Tale of the Whale (2022), escrito por Karen Swann e ilustrado por Padmacandra. A destacar a relação entre as crianças e as baleias, o artigo recorre à ecocrítica e à ecologia no contexto da literatura infantil. Com o argumento de que estas narrativas apresentam ambas as espécies como activistas do clima, o artigo explora também o significado do texto, não apenas com o objetivo de expor questões ambientais, mas também contribuindo para a literacia e pedagogia ambientais. Este artigo pretende concluir que a representação das baleias ao longo das narrativas promove uma consciencialização do oceano, levando as crianças a experimentar e a envolverem-se com o mar.
