Synopsis "Whales in the City"

For fans of If Sharks Disappeared, this kid-friendly picture book is a true story about how community action saved the whales of New York Harbor and reversed the effects of climate change. Spanning from pre-colonization to today, learn how the industrial revolution, overfishing, and pollution drove whales away from New York Harbor and the Hudson River by the early 20th Century. But the story doesn't end there. Passionate citizens were able to band together and clean up the harbor through activism and legislation. The first whales were spotted in the Hudson after over 100 years in 2019! Here is an uplifting environmental success story full of towering skyscrapers and underwater dramatics that highlights the power of community - voicing to readers of all ages that each of us can make a difference. Also includes backmatter on whales and water pollution around the country.
