In a remarkable collaboration, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton
celebrate the sea in all its changing moods -- and the place it holds in
our hearts and minds.
Ours is a blue planet. The oceans cover more than two-thirds of its
surface and constantly calls to us to play, explore, and dream. Our
fascination with the sea is as endless as our means of enjoying it --
whether building sand castles, navigating by the stars, or observing
strange and beautiful marine creatures. In a volume brimming with
information, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton capture the magic and
majesty of the ocean with stunning words and pictures. Poems about manta
rays, flying fish, and humpback whales mingle with verses about harbors,
storms, and pearl divers. Glimpses of life in the Arctic and Antarctic
Oceans flow into spreads about tropical islands, coral reefs, and
ancient shipwrecks on the seabed. Teeming with colorful details, this
treasure trove of knowledge will be pored over by adults and children
alike, and its exploration of the vast mysteries of the sea will
captivate readers for years to come.
