A new instalment has arrived in the long-running “Whale Sea” series, which began in 2001 with the international bestseller ‘I’m an African Giraffe‘. The previous title, ‘I’m Flippers from Moshi-Moshi Bay‘, was released in October 2021, making this the first new volume in three and a half years.

The star of this seventh book is Drifter, the laid-back sea otter who first appeared in ‘My name is Drifter, from the Seaweed Forest‘. As always, the story unfolds through letters that carry heartfelt friendships across the sea. ‘I’m an African Giraffe‘ is known internationally as “Yours Sincerely, Giraffe”, published in English by Gecko Press (New Zealand). Its German edition received the prestigious German Youth Literature Prize. The series continues to resonate with readers around the world, with translations available across Europe and Asia.
