This enchanting volume by an artist couple who are also parents
tells a very touching rite of passage story. Jeppe Hein and his
wife Silke have teamed up to create a very special kind of picture
book. It tells of the multifaceted experiences of the caterpillar
Aya and its metamorphosis into a no less multifaceted radiant
butterfly. The illustrations bring the story to life: Jeppe Hein's
watercolor drawings are congenially and sensitively enhanced by
Silke Hein's nature photography. Areas of color and texture of
almost magical depth are created. There is no question that this
attractive work is not only just for kids. Images of such
sophisticated colorfulness will captivate viewers of all ages and
lend wings to their own flights of fancy.
Oysters are humble animals yet very important. Vital to the health
of our coast, this keystone species helps filter coastal waters and
protects shorelines from undue erosion. In addition, oysters are a
source for both food and physical shelter for a wide array of other
animals as well as some plants. This book began with a federal
grant to create a living shoreline, a manmade slope carefully
engineered to provide optimal living conditions for oysters and
that will function as a seamless part of the natural environment.
Such living shorelines allow oysters to thrive while they also help
protect the land from some of the problems that are increasing
because of climate change. Why add a children's book to an
ecological building project? Learning about oysters and their role
in the environment will help our young people grow into adults who
are good stewards of our planet. Understanding life cycles and the
interconnections between species, no matter how small, are crucial
to that outcome, and oysters are a fascinating and compelling way
to explore those concepts. Includes: Full-page color illustrations
throughout. Inset illustrations highlighting associated species,
life-cycle stages, ecological insights, and human uses of oysters.
Amazing oyster facts. Ways to help support oysters. Further
