Found orphaned and stranded on a beach in Washington on August 2016, Rialto was brought to the Seattle Aquarium, where his rehabilitation and recovery was documented over the course of several months. The resulting photographs offer a rare and breathtaking glimpse into sea otters' growth and development, further enriched by an informative text offering background on these beautiful creatures and their environment—and how they were hunted to near-extinction for their fur, reintroduced to the northwest from Alaska only in recent decades.
Few things are more adorable than sea otters—especially baby sea otters! Stunning photographs and timely and topical themes of changing climate and environmental factors make this book appealing to children and adults alike.
