Smithsonian Ocean: Our Water Our World, highly recommended for libraries, is now being adapted for schools. I incorporated NOAA’s Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts of Ocean Literacy into the book’s narrative. It’s a pleasure working with so many inspired and inspiring teachers.

Ocean Timeline

In ways most of us have never imagined, all life depends on the sea, and has for 3.8 billion years. Working with a school adapting themes of Smithsonian Ocean: Our Water Our World to its curriculum, we are preparing a gorgeously illustrated ocean timeline, highlighting critical ways the sea has created and continues to sustain life.
