With Her Kids’ Help, Jean Craighead George’s ‘Ice Whale’ Sees Print
16:36 minutes
Jean Craighead George’s books—including My Side of the Mountain and Julie of the Wolves—taught generations of kids to love and respect nature. When she died in 2012, she left a new book, Ice Whale, unfinished. Her children talk about bringing this story of a 200-year-old bowhead whale to print. (Read an excerpt here.)
