While this book had beautiful images and did discuss true events (and my son generally enjoyed it) there seemed to be a bit of a bias in how it was written as far as the humans involved are concerned. It sort of glossed over some of the realities of how things were handled. I recommend Donna Sandstrom's book on this event instead of or in addition to it, as it's more historically accurate. Donna was then and is now involved with Orcas/Killer Whales in the Puget Sound/Salish Sea and is able to provide first hand knowledge of Springer's story.
If you've seen any of the "Whale Trail" signs in Washington beaches or ferries - That's Donna!
