What do we see when we dive into the ocean at night? The usually busy coral reef is almost empty. Fish hide while eels look for prey. A flashlight attracts plankton and other fish. Whales sleep vertically. We learn the behavior of other fish at night and the secrets of bioluminescence swirling like a constellation of stars. What other wonders await discovery?
Lu put extra effort into the dreamlike journey through the night sea. This book is striking and memorable. There are fun flaps to lift for more information. I loved the poetic narrative, and the artwork created in muted color and light.
