This true story of courage and compassion is brought to life bystunning illustrations. You will be awed and humbled by the deep connectionspossible between humans and animals. And you will be inspired to do all you canto help protect whales., This is a rare and important story about humane efforts to helpa free-swimming whale--with a happy ending. It will inspire readers of all agesto become stewards of the natural world., This is a beautiful story, one of the most moving I have heardabout, showing that a whale is capable of gratitude and can understand that somehumans, at least, want to help whales, not harm them. The paintings and thestory are simply enchanting. I don't believe it is possible to read thiswithout tears, but good tears for a change! I highly recommend it to allchildren, who will understand its significance immediately!, "With this story that amazes while it informs, readers cannot help but be touched by a singular event in which an ensnared humpback whale makes a profound connection with her rescuers. "Off the coast of San Francisco in 2005, a fisherman radios an alert that there is a trapped whale caught in crab-trap lines. When a rescue boat is sent to investigate, it is clear that extreme measures must be taken to save her. Four divers risk their lives to swim up close in order to sever each of the lines cutting into the whale's skin. As the divers work, the whale's big eye watches them. Once free, the whale dives, begins circling around the divers and then seems to disappear. Diver 'James is puzzled.' In a dramatic page turn, readers can experience the same surprise as the diver: 'With a jolt, James sees her heading straight for him!' This is just one instance where O'Connell expertly merges the art of storytelling with journalistic excellence in recounting this well-researched past event. The drama builds to the moment in which the huge whale gently gives 'a little nudge' to every diver before swimming away. The painted illustrations portray the situation from various perspectives and are a strong complement to the gripping text. A whale of a tale for sure. (Author's note; informational picture book; 5-8)" -- Kirkus Reviews "This true story of courage and compassion is brought to life by stunning illustrations. You will be awed and humbled by the deep connections possible between humans and animals. And you will be inspired to do all you can to help protect whales." --Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace "This is a rare and important story about humane efforts to help a free-swimming whale--with a happy ending. It will inspire readers of all ages to become stewards of the natural world." --Dr. Frances Gulland, DVM, Senior Scientist, The Marine Mammal Center, Sausalito, California "This is a beautiful story, one of the most moving I have heard about, showing that a whale is capable of gratitude and can understand that some humans, at least, want to help whales, not harm them. The paintings and the story are simply enchanting. I don't believe it is possible to read this without tears, but good tears for a change! I highly recommend it to all children, who will understand its significance immediately!" --Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of When Elephants Weep
