One Ocean: A Journey Beneath the Waves, (Hardcover)

<b>"This &amp;shy;factual and life-affirming book celebrates our ocean and reminds us to keep it healthy and wild." --<i>School Library Journal</i> (starred review)</b><br><b><br>The renowned creators of <i>One World: 24 Hours on Planet Earth</i> follow up with a lyrical book exploring the wild wonders of the sea--and how the oceans of our big blue planet converge as one, teeming with life.</b> <p>Two children and their grandmother discover a "sea heart" on the beach: a smooth, round bean the size of one child's palm, which has traveled the world on the Gulf Stream's current. The trio traces the bean's wondrous journey on a map--through seagrass meadows brimming with turtles and tiger sharks, coral reefs, underwater mountains traversed by whales, and kelp forests bobbing with seals--until it washes up, a full year later, on their rainy beach in Scotland. Narrative nonfiction at its best and most beautiful, this companion to <i>One World</i> from zoologist Nicola Davies and award-winning artist Jenni Desmond is a fluid, well-researched story about the way currents connect us all to the vast ocean that colors our planet blue. Tackling, too, the global impact of humans on the ocean--especially the perils of plastic--the book<i> </i>employs fascinating facts, gentle urgency, and specific conservation success stories to point a wise and hopeful path forward.</p>
