Synopsis

A Chicago Public Library Kids Best of the Best Book
Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year List - STEM & Outstanding Merit


A poetic, amazingly illustrated journey through the history of the ocean--from its dramatic evolutionary past to its marvelously biodiverse present.

Spanning 4.5 billion years of evolution, Jennifer Berne's extensively researched book is an accessible introduction to geology, oceanography, and marine biology. Entrancing verse, awe-inspiring art from Amanda Hall, and wide-ranging back matter capture the mysterious beauty of the ocean and the incredible organisms who call it home.

Berne spent years studying evolution and the undersea world to tell this story with lyrical, rhyming verse that makes it an accessible and intriguing introduction to geology, oceanography, and marine biology. Hall's work was shaped by her own reading, conversations with scientists, and explorations at London's Natural History Museum and Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences.

Ideal for STEM/STEAM learning, the book also features comprehensive back matter that includes author's and illustrator's notes, an illustrated timeline, key terms and concepts, recommended reading, and more.

Part of Eerdmans' Spectacular STEAM for Curious Readers series.
