Summary

The Brilliant Deep is the proud recipient of the ALA Notable Children's Books Award, the NSTA-CBC Best STEM Trade Books Award, the Junior Library Guild Selection and the ILA Teacher's Choices. All it takes is one: one coral gamete to start a colony in the ocean, one person to make a difference in the world, one idea to help us heal the earth. The ongoing conservation efforts to save and rebuild the world's coral reefs—with hammer and glue, and grafts of newly grown coral—are the living legacy of environmental scientist Ken Nedimyer, founder of the Coral Restoration Foundation.In telling the story of this sea conservation pioneer and marine life protector, Kate Messner and Matthew Forsythe create a stunning tribute to the wonders of nature and the power of human hope—a power even the smallest readers can access in their quest to aid our extraordinary planet.

    In search of fresh grass, a pet guinea pig embarks on an unforgettable journey in this charming children’s book.  The Great Adventure of Piggy the Peruvian Guinea Pig is based on a true story about Piggy, a Peruvian guinea pig, who is lost in the Virginia wilderness. It teaches children that the greatest adventures come when least expected, and that you have to be courageous even when you are afraid. It also teaches us that sometimes we learn the most about ourselves when we are forced into situations that we are unprepared for, like Piggy, who learns he is bold and brave when faced with adversity.
