This book is the sensitive, thoughtfully-told tale of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, narrated from the point of view of a baby otter who loses his mother in the tragedy. It is an excellent introduction to environmental issues for youngsters as well as a primer on grieving and loss for youth. A must-read for every child

we loved this book!! a sweet and simple story with a compelling social justice message. Was perfect for our elementary schooler.

Oliver and the Oil Spill is indeed a timeless tale of environmental awareness and protection. It is definitely a book that I recommend purchasing for your children and young students. The astounding fact is that such a literary work can be produced by Ms. Chandrasekhar at the age of 9! I guarantee that readers young and old will find it a worthwhile read.

Really recommend this book for teaching kids about the environment, social responsibility, life and death issues, etc.

What a touching and sensitive book! Teaches young children the importance of conserving our environment in a readable and emotionally-sensitive format.
