This Is the Sea That Feeds Us Book

This cumulative rhyme portrays the ocean's intricate food web, with each verse introducing another hungry creature, from the tiny plankton up to a grateful family of humans.

Children's Literature

The intricate connection between the smallest life forms in the sea and humankind is illustrated beautifully as the book moves step-by-step from phytoplankton to a little girl's fishing adventure. The drawings, set in deep aqua pages, nearly drip with reality as the sun's warmth and wind's power are also evoked. The poetry, which adds each link gradually to its verse, is also explicated with more scientific text adjoining.
