Wave Makers: How to Become an Ocean Superhero by Gabrielle Raymond McGee

A whole lot of fascinating, informative fun.

Ocean conservationist and wave maker McGee’s latest picture book is a delightful story that teaches young readers how they can make a difference in preserving the ocean. The young unnamed protagonist is excited today: the one and only Dr. Sylvia Earle, renowned oceanographer and explorer, is paying a visit to their humble classroom. But what really catches the children off guard is when Dr. Sylvia reveals a surprising fact: the true superheroes are in the ocean: underwater, every creature has its own unique power, highlighting the interconnectedness of our planet and its inhabitants.

McGee’s eloquent prose immerses readers in the vast underwater world, mirroring the infinite expanse of stars above us. Each page is brimming with tiny treasures, begging for eagle-eyed readers to explore. From the octopus’s three eyes and nine hearts to the hidden connections between us and our ocean superheroes, this book offers endless discoveries with every page turn. Anastasiya Halionka’s vivid illustrations capture the essence of each sea creature – from the industrious oysters to the graceful jellyfish. Beyond simply introducing various ocean dwellers, McGee also offers valuable information on ocean conservation and provides resources for families and educators. A glossary is included for easy understanding and action. A perfect blend of entertainment and meaningful information.
