A board book that introduces babies and toddlers to California sea animals, how they live together, and their connections with Native cultures.Meet the fascinating creatures who live along the Pacific Coast—salmon and seals, pelicans and plovers, turtles and whales galore. Our Ocean Family celebrates the relationships that California’s sea animals have with each other and with this land’s first peoples, for whom these delightful creatures have always been family. Crabs and shrimp play hide-and-seek, otters eat urchins and give abalone room to grow, and mollusks keep ocean water happy and healthy. Richly detailed full-color illustrations by Eric Wilder immerse little readers in sea life and include homages to the Native tribes who call these coastlands home. Learn the names for “ocean” in California tribal languages and uncover the wonders that await at land’s end. Adorable and fun, Our Ocean Family rejoices in the ways that people and sea animals are all related.
