In following Granny, the one-hundred-year-old matriarch, through her travels, we learn about the intimate workings of a pod of killer whales. A baby is born, the whales hunt for salmon, and they join another pod for an "orca party." Soft pastel paintings illustrate the sometimes awkward text. Additional information about this real-life pod is appended. Reading list. Websites.
