About this listen

Orcas are found in every ocean on the planet. But can they survive their relationship with humans?

Orcas Everywhere looks at how humans around the world (Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike) related to orcas in the past, how we relate to them now, and what we can do to keep cetacean communities alive and thriving. The book deals with science, philosophy, environmentalism, and ethics in a kid-friendly and accessible way.

Writer, filmmaker, and orca activist Mark Leiren-Young takes us back to when killer whales were considered monsters, and examines how humans went from using orcas for target practice to nearly loving them to death. If you know a young person who loves Free Willy or Finding Nemo, they will fall in love with these whales.

Critic reviews

"An important and beautiful book." (Susin Nielsen, award-winning author of No Fixed Address)

“This inviting book will be treasured by kids - a fun way to discover orcas and the sea.” (Erich Hoyt, author of Orca: The Whale Called Killer)

This book was jawsome because I love orcas and love learning about them, but the author was exaggerating about the affect of human population growth, pollution, noise and disturbance and starvation is having on orcas because they are absolutely thriving and not in danger at all.

Great but…
