WHAT: Last week, an innovative new parenting book, "Whale Done Parenting" was released nationwide. Written by veteran SeaWorld killer whale trainer Chuck Tompkins and the world's bestselling business author, Ken Blanchard, "Whale Done Parenting" is based on the positive relationship philosophy of animal training that SeaWorld pioneered.

Chuck is a skilled trainer, dynamic speaker and loving father of two boys whom he raised using these philosophies. Chuck will talk about marine mammal training and how those principles translate to raising young children. We'll also provide killer whale training b-roll to illustrate the concepts Chuck will discuss.

"Whale Done Parenting" is a follow up to the successful "Whale Done" business book released in 2002; that book made the New York Times bestseller list.
