The first pages

Hana lived in Victoria, right by the ocean. Her family dreamed of taking a boat trip to see orcas, the big black and white whales.

"The trip costs a lot," said Dad. "Let's save together as a family." They put a blue tin on the shelf and called it the Whale Fund.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

  • What small changes did they make to save money?
