Dive into a vibrant, rhythmic voyage through ocean life

A lyrical, illustrated journey through Earth's ocean ecosystems – packed with fascinating marine creatures and conservation themes for ages 5–9.

With rhythmic text and stunning artwork, this picture book celebrates the dynamic animals and habitats of the ocean, from shallow waters to ocean depths. Beloved Alaskan artist Ray Troll’s gorgeous, scientifically accurate illustrations capture the imagination of young readers – ideal for ages 5–9.

Dive into the dynamic habitat of the Earth’s one ocean and discover the many ways sea creatures move through their watery world – from kelp forest fish to swift hunters and long-distance travellers riding ocean currents across the globe. Learn about over 30 species of sea life, including mammals and fish, and explore the beauty of marine ecosystems that comprise our one interconnected ocean.

The book includes kid-friendly information on the conservation of marine resources, fostering life-long stewardship among young readers. A short field guide introduces the wildlife featured in the illustrations.

Surging, whirling . . . drifting, swirling.

The ocean wraps our world in wonder,

from rocky coast to deep down under.

Come, let’s go—on an ocean journey.
