Set your spirit of adventure free with this journey to the world's
great oceans, discovering the diversity of life that exists in the
deep blue sea. Whether you're travelling long haul with leatherback
turtles across the Pacific, snoozing with sea otters or ice bathing
with a walrus, this book celebrates the very prescient topic of the
world's oceans with LucyLetherland's animal characters. Each
section begins with an infographic map of the ocean it explores -
Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and Arctic - followed by richly
detailed two-page spreads exploring its depths and the denizens
within, as well as seabirds, coral reefs and shoreline critters.
Discover saltwater crocodiles lurking in the Andaman Islands,
hammerheads gathering in the Atlantic, and the awe-inspiring
colossal squid that calls the Ross Sea home. Lucy Letherland's
illuminating artwork shows how these oceans teem with life, forming
part of complex and fascinating ecosystems, all in a quirky,
characterful style. Interesting facts and figures pepper the
scenes. Did you know that spinner dolphins can swim up to 400
kilometres a day? Or that some sea snails can grow up to half a
metre long? Or that in the deepest depths, fish can glow in the
dark? A natural history lesson in an adventure book, each spread
features 10 captions and and facts about every destination. The 5th
title in the best-selling Atlas of Adventures series that has now
been translated into 31 languages. A 'Can you find?' page at the
back challenges you to explore the pages even deeper by locating
the pictured scenes and scene-stealers. Children and adults alike
will be amazed by the incredible creatures that await in the
world's oceans.

A wide-eyed girl and her mother explore London's busy streets and
towering views in this child-friendly tribute to an incomparable
city. London - the perfect place for a girl and her mother to spend
the day! Follow them as they board the classic red bus and begin a
whirlwind tour of some of London's most iconic landmarks. Try to
climb the awe-inspiring lions at Trafalgar Square, take in the
ritualistic Changing of the Guard, experience the whispering
gallery at St Paul's and - if you're lucky - you may even spot the
Queen! In this paean to Britain's bright and bustling capital city,
Salvatore Rubbino's fresh, lively paintings and breezy text capture
the delight of a young visitor experiencing the wonders of London
first-hand. And of course, what's London without a little rain?
This lyrical celebration of Juneteenth, deeply rooted in Black
American history, spans centuries and reverberates loudly and
proudly today. After 300 years of forced bondage; hands bound,
descendants of Africa picked up their souls--all that they owned--
leaving shackles where they fell on the ground, headed for the
nearest resting place to be found. Deeply emotional, evocative free
verse by poet and activist Sojourner Kincaid Rolle traces the
solemnity and celebration of Juneteenth from its 1865 origins in
Galveston, Texas to contemporary observances all over the United
States. This is an ode to the strength of Black Americans and a
call to remember and honor a holiday whose importance reverberates
far beyond the borders of Texas.
