Why Birds Sing is also published in England, Italy, Spain, Taiwan, China, Korea, and Germany. It was turned into a feature length BBC TV documentary. His following book, Thousand Mile Song, is on making music with whales. It was turned into a film for French television. A fifteenth-anniversary new edition came out in 2023, called Whale Music.
