This story spans from pre-colonization to today, so that readers can learn how the industrial revolution, overfishing, and pollution pushed whales out of New York Harbor and the Hudson River by the early 20th Century. But the story doesn't end there. Passionate citizens were able to clean up the harbor through activism and legislation. The first whales were spotted in the Hudson after over 100 years in 2019!

Here is a kid-friendly environmental success story chockfull of towering skyscrapers and underwater dramatics that highlights the power of activism and how each of us can make a difference. Also includes backmatter on whales and water pollution around the country.
