A bodiless voice beneath the surface of the sea tells her it is hopeless, she'll never find land, she'll never be safe. But there are kind voices at sea too - ones that offer encouragement, support and the promise of hope. With the kindness of a small white bird, a lesson from a pod of porpoises and the support of a gentle whale, Ella finds her courage and discovers she was never alone. A story that serves as a reminder that though we may face our fears alone, we are all in this together ER -
