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.
