Rory the Orca heard that there are beautiful lights in the sky called the Northern Lights. His friends and family don’t believe they exist because none of them have seen it with their own eyes. Determined to prove them wrong, Rory sets off on his own to make his wishes come true.
As he travels north, he meets some unlikely friends along the way. A beautiful beluga, a sleepy polar bear and a dancing fox. This journey brings Rory the unexpected gift of true friendship.
Will Rory’s dream of witnessing the magical Northern Lights come true?
Rory the Orca is a heartwarming children’s book written in rhyme. If you or your child enjoy gorgeous animals, ocean adventures and stories about chasing your dreams, then you’ll love Sarah Cullen and Carmen Ellis’s tale of hope.
