The Night Whale

Bryher Mackenzie is a collector of words and supervisor of lunches. When they are not tying laces, zipping zips or debating the tastiest flavours of popcorn, Bryher can usually be found where picture books are. Bryher likes to read and write stories with big feelings, and the Night Whale is their debut picture book. Their Instagram is @bryherandherbooks.
Gillan Eilidh O'Mara is the illustrator of a number of picture books, but The Night Whale is her first one in this scenic, atmospheric style. In addition to illustrating, Gillian has co-founded and grown several social ventures including a poetry festival, children's literacy projects, charity building projects in India and a fine tea company supporting girls' education.
