...they ended up far, far away at the Port of Sacramento. They were 90 miles from the big, blue ocean! And they were very scared, hurt and very hungry.
And they thought they were all alone.
But many people, young and old, parents with their children, had heard about the lost whales. They came out by the hundreds to the riverbanks to see mama and baby.

Delta & Dawn: Mother & Baby Whales' Journey is a children's picturebook based on the inspirational true tale of a mother and baby humpback whale. During their migration through the Pacific Ocean, the whales became trapped for more than two weeks in the Sacramento River and the San Francisco Bay area. Their presence charmed and fascinated humans; marine biologists tried everything they could think of to help the whales return to their saltwater home, and the baby whale always stayed close to its mother. At last the two of them were finally able to find the way to freedom. A gentle and kindly storybook, illustrated with captivating artwork and photography, especially recommended for young whale lovers.
