From the creator of the Oscar-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher and his diving partner comes a best-in-class photographic picture book about the wonders of the sea.

Here’s an ode to the mysteries of the ocean, the animals who share our planet, and the healing power of nature from the Oscar-winning creator of the Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher and his diving partner.

This meditation on the treasures to be found in the Great African Sea Forest introduces the many wonders of an environment that always surprises—from the tiniest sea snails, to the shapeshifting octopus, to the gently singing whales.

Illustrated with gorgeous underwater photography of the fascinating creatures and places most of us will never witness firsthand, this picture book is a window into another world and all it has to share with us.
