Renowned artist Wendell Minor and author Robert Burleigh relate the true story of a female humpback whale that became entangled in fishing nets off the Pacific coast and was rescued by human divers.
In the icy waters of the Pacific, a massive humpback whale unexpectedly finds herself tangled in a net abandoned by fishermen. When a rescue boat and a convoy of divers arrive to help the struggling humpback, a realistic and moving encounter bridges the human and aquatic worlds.
