Orcas Everywhere: The Mystery and History of Killer Whales

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.

"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

“An amazingly accessible and fun book that explores our relationship with whales over millennia. The reality of their complex and intelligent behavior should give anyone pause in assuming human superiority.”

Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada
