- Synopsis
- Manatees, Mother Nature's "sea cows," are gentle creatures that live in shallow coastal waters. They have no predators in the wild, yet they are an endangered species, their biggest threat coming from humans who unknowingly hit them with boats. Here is the story of one such manatee and the efforts to help her and her calf after she is injured. This dramatic rescue story illustrates the importance of protecting manatees in their natural habitat. Arnosky pairs his simple telling with beautiful paintings that capture the essence of these gentle giants.
