The manatees, the gentle giants of the lagoons of Florida and coastal habitats, can bring a smile to those who have the chance to encounter them. They provide hours of quiet fun.

They are also at the mercy of boats powered by razor-sharp propellers, a new form of predator from which they have no protection. This book is a celebration of the life of these majestic creatures.
