What would you do if you found an abandoned baby, who was hungry
and confused? What would you do if this baby was a whale? Terry
Tamminen, former Secretary of the California Environmental
Protection Agency, shares his remarkable true story about the
rescue of JJ the Whale, a day old gray whale that was found
abandoned in Marina del Rey, California. He takes us through his
incredible journey and the set-backs he encountered, including
bureaucratic obstacles, the daunting task of figuring out what and
how to feed a 1600 pound baby, and finding a safe home for the
infant. Not only is this a book about whale rescue, but a touching
example of human will and compassion. Tamminen introduces us to the
various characters involved-- many volunteering their time to save
the animal, all deeply devoted to saving the animal-- creating an
emotional picture of the power of human collaboration. Compelling
and riveting, Watercolors captures the urgency felt by the people
involved in the rescue. At the same time, it educates the reader
about gray whales, providing a glimpse into their life experiences.
But most importantly, this book is a call to action: although we
may not all have the chance encounter of meeting and directly
saving a baby whale, our actions and decisions that we make on a
daily basis are affecting these mysteriously beautiful creatures.
