Glacier Bay National Park is home to the largest humpback whale skeleton on display in the United States, reconstructed from a whale affectionately nicknamed “Snow” by biologists. This children’s book tells a fictionalized story of Snow’s life, following her journey from Alaska to Hawaii and back as she teaches her calf, Snowflake, everything he needs to know about being a whale. Join them as they encounter killer whales, flying fish, and other fascinating marine life. The inspiration for A Tale of a Whale Named Snow came from an Alaskan newspaper article about a whale known locally as Snow, who was tragically struck by a cruise ship in Glacier Bay. The story highlights how the local community came together to recover and reconstruct her skeleton, creating a lasting monument to her memory.
