Blog Tour and Giveaway: Sea Without a Shore


My kids have always been drawn to non-fiction books, especially ones about the ocean and sea life. We love learning about the ocean, sea creatures, fish, and other marine life. There's so much to discover! 

I'm thrilled to share a new non-fiction picture book with you. It's called Sea Without a Shore: Life in the Sargasso by Barb Rosenstock, illustrated by Katherine Roy. The story follows a piece of seaweed, offering children an engaging introduction to this fascinating ecosystem. I believe this would be a fantastic addition to any elementary science classroom.

Sea Without a Shore: Life in the Sargasso

Written by Barb Rosenstock

Illustrated by Katherine Roy

Ages: 4+ | 32 Pages

Publisher: W. W. Norton | ISBN: 9781324016076

Publisher’s Book Summary: "A single piece of seaweed buoys a fascinating ecosystem in this nonfiction picture book from award-winning creators Barb Rosenstock and Katherine Roy.

From bryozoans and snails to shrimps, eels, swordfish, and whales, the Sargasso Sea provides a home to countless types of marine life, thanks to the prevalence of microalgae called sargassum. Following a single blade of this extraordinary seaweed as it grows and spreads, readers see what it provides for the sea’s organisms: a base for hydroids and tube worms to filter and feed, shelter for anemones and nudibranchs and their nutritious waste, hunting grounds for crabs and amphipods, and a source of nourishment and protection for the fish, birds, whales, and reptiles that feed on these smaller creatures.

Through a widening scope on this intricate interdependence, Barb Rosenstock celebrates one of our planet’s most diverse and important ecosystems and the unassuming seaweed that sustains it. Gorgeously illustrated with Katherine Roy’s rich, eye-catching artwork, Sea Without a Shore is as fluid and rhythmic as the currents that shape this tidal home."

You can purchase your own copy of Sea Without a Shore at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop.
