Emmy and her classmates have a special hands-on assignment: raising salmon and releasing them into the wild! 

​

At school, they learn about the biology, life cycle, predators, inherited traits, habitat, and conservation -- all while watching their salmon grow from egg stage to alevin to fry stage. When Release Day comes, the students wish their fry goodbye and good luck, hoping that one day they'll find their way back to spawn.

 

This book’s back matter includes a glossary and information about the Pacific Salmon’s life cycle.
