Extraordinary Women with Cameras Book Review – Engaging, Informative, Educational, Fun
Throughout the vividly illustrated specialty sized children's book, we understand sometimes we all mix up letters and end up believing what we planned will never happen, which is where a new adventure for us, and for Flynn, begins!
Flynn takes a wrong turn on the way to Cape Canaveral in the upcoming book, but what starts as a misstep soon becomes a grand voyage of discovery. From coral reefs and mangrove forests to undersea mountain ranges and giant squid — Flynn's adventures are shown through an unforgettable glow-in-the-dark journey under the sea in this beautifully illustrated picture book that explores the ocean's wonders while encouraging youngsters to embrace their uniqueness—wherever life takes them.
As Flynn peers through the windows of a submarine, the magical under the sea kaleidoscope of brilliance and eye popping colors come to life. As we journey with Flynn we see the distinct changes in the ocean's ecosystem, as dazzling neon colors fade to a dull, grey and litter fills the sea floor.
Sanchez-Bezos also includes an undersea glossary that includes a description of each of the sea creatures, plants, and other elements of the oceans ecosystem that are featured throughout the book. The book jacket becomes a vertical oceanography wall poster filled with a lovely collage of the book's adventure.
