Winter's Tail: How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again
"Fans of the Hatkoffs' Owen and Mzee titles...will gobble up this empathy-raising tale of the little dolphin that could." -- School Library Journal
Winter's Tail chronicles the amazing true story of Winter, a two-month old dolphin who lost her tail after becoming entangles in a crab trap. Winter was rescued off the coast of Cape Canaveral and brought to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where she was treated and had to learn to swim again, using a remarkable prosthetic tail. Beyond all expectations, Winter has thrived and has become an inspiration to the disables and able-bodied alike. Winter's story delivers an important message of hope, friendship, and universal acceptance.
