The second installment in my We Are… series— a series of picture books to explore the wonders of the weird, creepy, and overlooked organisms of the living world. From fungi to jellyfish and beyond, spark your curiosity and peer into forgotten, unknown worlds. Told from the perspective of the subject, these books skew nonfiction with facts and glossaries, but also with a touch of mystery and a dab of spookiness.
We Are Jellyfish is told from the perspective of jellyfish, who share factually accurate details about themselves—what they eat, how they hunt, and how they live in the world. However, along for the ride is a young scuba diver who is a self-proclaimed “jellyfish expert” and wishes to tell the story of jellyfish herself. As they travel deeper down into the ocean depths, will she learn to finally listen to the mysteries? Weird things begin to happen as the waters get colder, darker, and the jellyfish reveal their powerful techniques of survival.
