They have come to the planet to teach, inspire and transform children and the way they look at the world.

WHAT IS THEIR MAGIC YOU ASK? First, The Royal Family appears in many shapes, sizes, and places ’d never expect. Like showing up as a new constellation of stars in the night sky, puffy whale clouds in springtime, floating whale-shaped leaves in Autumn, or spouting confetti of fireworks on the 4th of July! Their greatest ability, and the most mysterious, is their wireless communication! Yes, whales are the natural resource for wireless communication. They have been doing it for millions of years before humans appeared. Whales communicate through sonar vibration from ocean to ocean, they also use it for Eco-location which is like their GPS. This royal pod spouts and communicates through “Whale Mail!”

Whale Magic® teaches children about Zoology, Environmental Awareness, Geography, History, Astronomy, and Social Studies. It also teaches friendship and the diversity of cultures.
 

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY is just as fascinating. The inspiration for Whale Magic® began in 1985 when The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Charles (now King Charles II), and Princess Diana (forever the Queen of People’s Hearts) came to the United States, Kennedy wanted to welcome them to a special way by sending them gifts for their two young sons, Prince William and Prince Henry ("Harry"). Knowing they were staying at the British Embassy in Washington, DC., Kennedy addressed the package and sent it, never expecting they would personally receive it. However, to his great surprise, he received a Thank You letter from Buckingham Palace from the Private Secretary to H.R.H. The Prince of Wales. Then he realized he had made a royal faux pas, misspelling their name, Wales, to WHALES, the majestic ocean creatures. “That was the moment Whale Magic was born,” Kennedy says, “all from a misspelled word!”

“Being a former journalist, and knowing the importance of correct spelling, especially a name, and a royal name at that, I was embarrassed at first,” Kennedy says. “Then I began to laugh and thought it was very funny. Suddenly, I had a vision in my mind’s-eye of a cartoon Prince and Princess of Whales® and this is what led me to my passion for whales for the last thirty years. Who could have ever guessed that I would become The Prince of Whales?” Kennedy says, tongue ‘n cheek. “My greatest wish is that children and adults from around the world will come to love and want to protect whales as I have, and become good stewards of the earth.”
