Tohora HB

A moving story of the near extinction and then revival of one of New Zealand's magnificent marine mammals, the southern right whale.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Once, the mighty tohora, or southern right whale, was a common sight in winter off the coast of Aotearoa. But it proved to be an easy target for the 19th-century whalers, and was soon driven to the edge of extinction.

In the 20th century, however, it became a protected species, and once commercial whaling was virtually stopped, the southern right whale made a comeback.

Tohora by Ned Barraud recounts this moving story in this beautifully illustrated book, a heartening and optimistic tale for every New Zealand child.
