A neat little book with a gorgeous cover that brings the ocean to life from the author of Swimming to Antarctica . Distance swimmer Lynne Cox spent an entire morning swimming alongside a baby gray whale that she encountered during a practice swim in the Pacific, in the hopes that his mother would return for him and save his life. This is their story. A good gift book for swimmers, especially girls who love the ocean. Grade 9+
