Ocean Seasons

Ron Hirschi, illustrated by Kirsten Carlson

In fun, fanciful form, children learn about plants and animals that are joined through the mix of seasons, food webs, and habitats beneath the waves. 

I recently pulled my signed copy of this book out of my bookshelf because I was giving a talk in Port Ludlow, WA—this author's neighborhood.  This beautifully illustrated book is aimed at ages 4-8 and does an especially great job of illuminating the relationships between our underwater neighbors.

While set in the Pacific, similar changes occur in all the world's oceans.  For a video about seasons below the surface in Puget Sound, see Return of the Plankton.
