Here's how to talk to your child about it
Kelly the blue whale is a big whale that lives in the ocean. Kelly needed help to remove something from her mouth, and Jasmin helped her. Blue whales eat a lot of small shrimp called krill. They have a special way to catch and eat them. Kelly has a special nose to breathe and communicate with other whales.
