A compelling nonfiction picture book about the remarkable rescue of an orphaned orca calf, Springer (A73), whose story captured the hearts of whale lovers throughout the Pacific Northwest.In 2002, a killer whale calf was discovered swimming alone in Puget Sound. This picture book follows the amazing true story of her identification as a member of the A4 pod, a family of Northern Resident orcas living off the coast of British Columbia, and the team of scientists who worked together against all odds to save her from starvation and reunite her with her family.The challenges of capturing Springer, transporting her north from Puget Sound to Canadian waters, and coordinating her release to facilitate a hopeful acceptance back into her family are brought to life in beautiful illustrations that will appeal to readers of all ages.This is a hopeful and celebratory conservation story with a happy ending: Springer gave birth to her first calf, Spirit, in 2013, and a second calf, Storm, in 2017.In addition to the narrative, there are 5 pages of illustrated back matter that go deeper into Springers story, and include her family tree, a map of her rescue journey, as well as more about how orcas are at risk and what we can do to help.

I bought 'The Spirit of Springer' for my kids, and they absolutely loved it! The illustrations are stunning, and the story really brings the experience of the orphaned orca to life. It's a beautiful way to teach them about marine life and conservation.

Disappointed with the quality
I was excited to get 'The Spirit of Springer', but when it arrived, the pages were bent and some had smudges. The story is nice, but the quality of the book was disappointing. I expected better for a children's book.

Interesting but not what I expected
I found the book to be quite informative about orcas, but it felt a bit slow in parts. The rescue story is heartwarming, but I wanted more action. Still, it's a decent read for animal lovers, just not as engaging as I hoped.
