A pregnant manatee hurt by a boat propeller's blades is rescued and transferred to an aquarium. She gives birth, then mother and offspring are released back home. Arnosky's signature style is perfect for conveying the gentle bulk of the manatees as they glide through both the sunny, pastel mangroves of their natural habitat and the smaller, confined waters of the aquarium.
