Tale of a Great White Fish: A Sturgeon Story

Award-winning writer Maggie de Vries and prize-winning illustrator Renne Benoit present Tale of a Great White Fish: A Sturgeon Story, a children's picturebook about Big Fish, an ancient sturgeon nearly 177 years old who has dodged death many times, from drainage to disease to the threat of sports fishermen. Now laws protect her and her kind, and keep up hope that humans can help her species to survive. A fascinating tale about survival amid both natural and man-made dangers, Big Fish concludes with a handful of scientific and historic facts about sturgeon. A brief letter by Rick Hansen, chairman of the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society, rounds out this engaging fishy adventure spanning nearly two centuries.
