Dive, Dive into the Night Sea
︎Joining the poetic diving journey, encounter hidden wonders under the cover of night.
Books about marine beauty are always colorful, but this one is dark in black.
Dive, dive!
Dive into the night sea.
I shine my light and wait
to see who will come to me.
Jumping into the inky depths with the night diver, readers are invited to a poetic diving adventure, to discover the wonders hidden in the night sea: small fishes tucking away, parrotfish sleeping in bubbles, whales standing on tails, manta swooping close, ocean “stars” fluorescing, corals glowing….. The night sea is never terrifying. It’s full of miracles waiting for us to see.
Instead of piling up explanatory text onto spreads, I’d like to call this book a light natural science book. At the first contact, you can just purely enjoy the lyrical texts and dreamlike scenes. If you want to know more, lift the flaps, and the secrets of the night sea are there for you.
