A recent picture book addition to our library's collection of children's books shows the sustaining force behind the life cycle found within our oceans. Authored and illustrated by Caldecott-award winning illustrator Molly Bangs and co-authored by award-winning M.I.T. professor and leading expert on ocean science, Penny Chisholm;
Ocean Sunlight does not disappoint with its beautiful illustrations and clear, simple science. Booklist's starred review exclaims "If a good picture book does what it sets out to do, a great one sets out to do something huge and succeeds" and concludes it's "an outstanding book to read and absorb."
We hope you'll take an opportunity to check it out and share it with any young readers who might appreciate it.
