We’re partnering with GMGI to sell books at their Annual Art Science Lecture! This year the topic is Research and Storytelling About Extreme Ocean Environments with GMGI scientist Dr Matt Harke and author/ illustrator Lindsey Leigh.
We’ll have copies of Leigh’s book ‘The Deep!’ for sale at the event and will have copies in store before and after the event for purchase as well.

PRAISE FOR THE DEEP!:

“What an engaging dive into the ocean! Read about the ocean layers and the cool creatures who live in each ocean zone. The unique handwritten font…gives the feeling of waves and playfulness…And the dialogue bubbles of conversational creatures only add to the genius of this eye-catching book. I predict this will be very popular with middle grade readers!” – Imagination Soup

“Gorgeous…It’s a funny, fantastic ride.” – Fuse8, A School Library Journal Blog
“Teachers who have the ocean as part of their STEM science curriculum will want to add Lindsey Leigh's creatively illustrated book…[C]omprehensive…fascinating…The illustrations are colorful and engaging for young learners…[O]ffers a wealth of ideas to include in your STEM curriculum.” – HubPages
“[The Deep!] is by far the best book I have seen as a science teacher on the deepest part of earth’s oceans. The book has so many facts that is a great source for teaching, and yet it is fun for students to read…The colors are bright and the sea creatures are described in detail, making the book engaging and clever, keeping kids and adults interested…This book provides fascinating facts with a fun twist.” – Lit Pick
ABOUT: Plunge beneath the waves to find an alien world of bizarre creatures who explain for themselves how they’ve adapted to life in the deep dark sea.
Did you know that there are animals that are completely transparent? That some tube worms live for 1,000 years? That the Pigbutt Worm is also known as the “Flying Buttocks”? Or that there is a type of sea cucumber that is nicknamed “the headless chicken monster?” These are just some of the scientific facts, presented comics-style, that kids will pore over again and again. THE DEEP! is a captivating and educational survey of animals that live in the deepest part of the ocean created in a fun graphic nonfiction format. The first-person commentary by the animals themselves cover a wealth of facts from the surface of the ocean to the darkest trenches. And the beautiful, full-color illustrations bring them to life. From animal adaptations like bioluminescence and giant flashlight eyes to the habits and habitats of the Pram Bug and Dumbo Octopus THE DEEP! will keep readers fully engaged with life at the bottom of the sea. A great gift for fans of Everything Awesome About Sharks and Other Underwater Creatures! by Mike Lowery, and readers of all ages who love ocean creatures, history, and nature.
