Based on the true story of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off the coast of Alaska Gloria Rand s children s picture book Prince William is a tale of compassion and environmentalism--beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand. In Prince William Sound Alaska a tanker crashes on a reef and spills millions of gallons of oil into the waters. On a beach nearby a little girl named Denny finds a baby seal covered with oil. It is barely alive. How can she save its life?
