Over and Under the Waves Kids Book

Over and Under the Waves, the newest title in the Over and Under series by award-winning duo Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal.

This picture book invites young readers to explore the vibrant world of the kelp forest - an underwater ecosystem teeming with life. Above the surface, sea lions bark, seagulls cry, and sunlight glitters across a calm blue bay. But below, an entirely different world unfolds: whales glide through towering kelp, wolf eels twist between fronds, and schools of sardines and sea bass flash in shimmering currents. Leopard sharks, glowing jellies, and countless other creatures make their homes in this underwater forest, sheltered by swaying kelp.

Perfect for curious young readers, Over and Under the Waves reveals the beauty, wonder, and interconnectedness of the ocean - just waiting to be discovered beneath the surface.
