Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Masterful artwork and nuanced verse invite readers to hold their breath and dive deep." Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW
Sophia bravely dives down to discover the secrets under the sea. She encounters beautiful fish and floating forests. Farther down, the dark water is full of tentacles and treasures. Deep underwater, she is never alone. Do you dare dive down after her?
The ocean is full of endless possibilities in this dreamy, imagistic story from acclaimed author/illustrator Irene Luxbacher. Her otherworldly paintings show colorful fish, rippling seawater and the secrets to be found at the bottom of the ocean. Sophia's journey will linger with readers long after the return to shore.
