| Abstract | This illustrated informational work for young readers follows a group of gray whales during their annual migration from breeding grounds near Baja California to Arctic feeding areas. The narrative focuses on a subset of whales that temporarily diverge from the primary migration route to enter the Salish Sea in search of feeding opportunities in shallow tidal waters. Combining lyrical narrative text by Nora Nickum with artwork by Elly MacKay, the book describes whale behavior, feeding strategies, and environmental challenges encountered during migration. Supplementary material provides additional information about gray whale biology, habitats, and conservation. |
