  • Big Blue Forever by Anita Miettunen
    Hackmatack 2019 Big Blue Forever by Anita Miettunen Big Blue Forever is inspired by the true story of how a blue whale skeleton found on a remote beach in PEI was shipped across the country and reassembled for permanent display at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum in Vancouver. This unique Canadian adventure story includes intriguing facts about blue whales and their environment, and the fascinating process that museums go through to uncover, prepare, and reassemble skeletons for display. Blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived on earth. When I first met Big Blue at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, I was awestruck by her enormous size. I wondered about her life in the wild. How exactly did she end up in the museum? I decided to write Big Blue Forever to tell the story of how the blue whale skeleton got to the museum and to raise awareness about this remarkable species that is still endangered. Thematic Links: Marine Mammals Ocean Environments Endangered Species Science Careers Environment/Conservation Activity Ideas: What kinds of things can we all do to help protect nature and the environment? Make a list of ideas. Nature is full of amazing cycles and processes. Can you think of some natural cycles that happen in your own backyard, garden, or outdoor areas in your neighbourhood?
