Beloved Alaskan artist Ray Troll’s gorgeous scientifically accurate illustrations capture the imagination of young readers—for ages 5-9.

Learn about over 30 species of sea life, including mammals and fish, and discover the beauty of marine ecosystems that comprise our one, interconnected ocean. 

The book includes kid-friendly information on conservation of marine resources, fostering life-long stewardship among young readers, and also provides a short field guide for the wildlife featured in 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.
