Wild Orca: The Oldest, Wisest Whale in the World

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | September, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-11069-5 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. Mia and her family gather on the San Juan Islands to see if Granny, a (real-life) 105-year-old orca whale, will appear. Mia's reflections relate facts about orcas' family structure, habitat, and endangered status. The humans cheer as Granny and her family appear--with new babies--and entertain the crowd with leaps and singing, elegantly rendered in Minor's gouache-watercolor paintings. More orca information is appended.
