A fact-filled text accompanies this luminous journey through the sea and introduces children to some of the dangers that threaten the coral reef ecosystem. Katherine Brown-Wing's illustrations invite you on a brilliant visual adventure you'll never forget.Katy Muzik is a marine biologist who specializes in octocorals-- commonly known as sea fans.
