Tohora Ned Barraud

Tohora: The southern right whale Ned Barraud

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.

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