Follow award-winning illustrator Thea Lu on a stunning, dreamlike journey through the night sea. Dive, dive!
Dive into the night sea.
I shine my light and wait
to see who will come to me.
Swooping manta rays. Vibrant coral reefs. Sleeping whales. And in the deepest darkness, a display of bioluminescence, swirling like a constellation of stars. These and other wonders await discovery in an arresting and atmospheric picture book, rendered in a poetic narrative and with artwork that makes striking use of muted color and light. Lift the flaps to uncover the secrets of the night sea, as well as fascinating facts about the mysterious creatures that live there.

A fascinating, poetic tour.
