Inspired by a
real commercial seaplane in the Pacific Northwest, Otto and the
Flying
Orca is a sweet tale of unlikely friendship and finding acceptance.
Otto the little orca
whale is excited to make a new friend in the sky: a flying whale named
Zoom!
But when Otto tells his family about Zoom, they don't understand why he
would
want to be friends with someone so different. Zoom doesn't look like a
real
orca, and he doesn't sound like one either. As salmon become scarcer,
though,
Zoom's friendship might just be what Otto and his family need.
Including fun facts about
orcas and the real-life seaplane that inspired Zoom, Otto and the
Flying Orca captures the curiosity and joy of unexpected friendships.
