{"product_id":"9780615553955","title":"Watercolors: How Jj the Whale Saved Us","description":"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? \u003cp\u003eTerry 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompelling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seventh Generation Advisors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019113971952,"sku":"9780615553955","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615553955_p0.jpg?v=1763598736","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615553955","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
