Blue Planet II

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Blue Planet II by Leisa Stewart-Sharpe invites you to dive into mesmerising stories from the renowned BBC series, reimagined with breathtaking illustrations and exceptional storytelling.

This is our Blue Planet—a beautiful blue marble suspended in a sea of stars.

Unlike billions of other worlds in the Milky Way, 71 per cent of our Blue Planet is covered by ocean. It's home to the greatest diversity of life on Earth but remains our least explored habitat; we have better maps of Mars than of the ocean floor.

With so much more to discover, take a deep breath... and dive into a wondrous world beneath the waves.

Explore coral reefs that shimmer in a kaleidoscope of colours. Venture to the bottom of the ocean where creatures beyond your wildest imagination live in the dark. Chase sea otters through kelp forest seas, and glide the open ocean with humpback whales.

Discover all there is to love about our Blue Planet, the stories of its inhabitants, and realise how you can help protect this wilderness beneath the waves.

In collaboration with BBC Earth, this illustrated non-fiction book captures the wonder, beauty, and emotion of the iconic BBC Blue Planet II TV series.
