From the creator of the Oscar-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher and his diving partner comes a best-in-class photographic picture book about the wonders of the sea.
Here’s an ode to the mysteries of the ocean, the animals who share our planet, and the healing power of nature from the Oscar-winning creator of the Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher and his diving partner.

This meditation on the treasures to be found in the Great African Sea Forest introduces the many wonders of an environment that always surprises—from the tiniest sea snails to the shapeshifting octopus to the gently singing whales.

Illustrated with gorgeous underwater photography of the fascinating creatures and places most of us will never witness firsthand, this picture book is a window into another world and all it has to share with us.

I'm going to be honest, the only reason I picked up this book was because the cover - the octopus is my favorite marine animal so it pulled me in right away with it's breath-taking cover image. I am so glad I got to read this with my children.
The images are so beautiful, and of the highest quality.
There is minimal text on the pages, which is great for littles with shorter attention spans; but you can tell that the author put a ton of thought into what was being said on the pages. The descriptions are so vivid, there is no problem visualizing what they are talking about, and feeling like I was really there.
I really liked that a small tidbit was included about the 'Sea Change Project,' as well as the mention of the documentary.
A Journey Under the Sea is making a great addition to my homeschool library, I cannot wait to read it over and over again.
