Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
A young African American girl narrates New England whaling history by contrasting the mission and quality of life for whalers of times past with a trip aboard her father's whale-watching ship. Karas's detailed illustrations inform flashback scenes with sepia tones while maintaining visual connections to the present day. An intriguing first introduction to whaling, with an informative author's note. Reading list, websites. Glos.
