"Sweet-tempered illustrations soften difficult moments in this memorable ode to the power of music and the possibilities of communication—a work that also casts quiet doubt on keeping animals in captivity." —STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly

"Whalesong: The True Story of the Musician Who Talked to Orcas centers on animals, minus the silliness, although OHora cushions his serious message with merriment in this true tale of compassion, animal rights, and the power of music. . . . As conservation books for kids go, Whalesong may be the grooviest." —STARRED REVIEW, Shelf Awareness

"[A] true zoo tale from the 1970s. . . . [A]ffecting." Kirkus Reviews

"With a concise text and sensitive illustrations, this picture book tells a true story that will surely resonate with the many children who would like to communicate with animals." Booklist

"Whalesong is an inspiring, educational book about the majestic and intelligent orca and two men who have helped these whales." Metroland Media
