How the Sea Came to Be And All the Creatures In It

Written by Jennifer Berne

Illustrated by Amanda

Hall

Long, long ago, the Earth was a fiery place, where steamy, hot clouds rose up high. Rain poured down for millennia, filling the first oceans. There the teeniest stirrings of life began, evolving and changing over millions of years. Down in the depths and up on the surface, life grew and spread. Now the sea teems with thousands of creatures—squid, dolphins, barracudas, and more, living in the waters where long, long ago, life itself came to be.

With entrancing verse and awe-inspiring art, this book is a lyrical, spectacular history of the ocean and its incredible inhabitants.

The Miracle Seed

Written and illustrated by Martin

Lemelman

Thousands of years ago, the Judean date palm was a beloved symbol of the Jewish people. It bore the sweetest fruit, believed to cure toothaches and even cancer. But after centuries of violence, the tree faded into extinction. Finally—in 1963—archaeologists uncovered Judean date palm seeds at the ruined fortress of Masada. Could these seeds bring the ancient plant back to life? In 2004, Dr. Sarah Sallon and Dr. Elaine Solowey began an amazing experiment . . .

Intertwining history, biology, and colorfully detailed art, this graphic novel is a compelling look at perseverance in the face of impossible odds.
