One of our world’s most important ecosystems, the estuary, is the voice of The Secret Bay in this charmingly illustrated picture book. Gorgeous watercolors reveal the amazing diversity of shorebirds, fish, mammals, crabs, turtles, even plankton that live in the salt marshes, mudflats, and backwaters, where freshwater rivers meet the ocean. Pages include sidebars about estuary plants, animals, and cycles along with more information on the Estuary Food Web and how estuary animals escape predators. A perfect nature commentary for a budding scientist. Softcover, 40 pages. Ages 6 – 8.
