About this series
Molly's dad shows them how to care for the whale as they wait for the tide to come in. Molly sings to calm her, while the children and their friends work together to keep her cool and wet. But will they manage to help the whale back into the sea in time?
A sequel to the acclaimed Molly and the Stormy Sea, this is a moving tale from a master storyteller and illustrator about working together to help make something wonderful happen.
Written by Malachy Doyle and illustrated by Andrew Whitson.
'With lovely, simple, emotional text, the reader is placed right in the story; feeling every moment and effort and really invested in the outcome. [...] There is a real sense of community in this book; reliance upon each other, working together with a common, selfless goal. As the story goes on, the sense of compassion and empathy builds, encompassing every page. (And this is done as much through the illustrations as the text.) Gripping, evocative, caring and quietly joyous.' Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories
'This is a moving tale from a skilful storyteller and equally talented illustrator about the power of empathy and teamwork. Doyle's engaging narrative is vividly brought to life by Whitson's colourful artwork.' Jenny White, Western Mail

Molly and her friends are suddenly plunged into a lockdown and have to adapt to a new way of living. Molly completes jigsaws, plays her fiddle, and looks after her pets, whilst her mother helps others on the island and her father is stuck far away on the mainland. With a vaccine on the horizon, this story ends with a message of hope.In collaboration with Irish publisher An tSnáthaid Mhór, the story will be released simultaneously in three languages: English, Irish and Welsh. A great resource for people home-schooling, it helps educate children about the challenging circumstances surrounding COVID-19, UK-wide lockdowns and the vaccine, as well as providing a hopeful message for both children and adults.
- Molly and the Stormy Sea
Molly wakes one morning to find her house empty. Her father has been out fishing in stormy seas and hasn't returned from his trip. She takes her most precious possessions down to the harbour; a brass locket containing twenty little cowrie shells, a photograph of her father and her beloved doll to offer the sea in return for her father's safety. But will the stormy sea return her father and all the other fathers from the fishing trip? Written by Malachy Doyle and illustrated by Andrew Whitson. 'Timeless and heart-warming, this tale speaks of love, sacrifice and hope. Doyles' pitch-perfect writing pull us through the story with gentle, soothing tones inspiring the reader to look deeper, go further. Great care and consideration is given to depicting a vignette of the life of this small island girl. Using clear, concise language, he weaves the story with just the right amount of drama and nuance and conveys a message that everything will be all right. The stunning pictures by Whitson lend mood and atmosphere, with the use of light and colour adapting to each page. The effect is simply magical. This is a wonder of a book; perfectly illustrated and loving told; one you will want to read and share again and again.' Mary Esther Judy, Children's Bookseller
