"Ocean literacy should be on the curriculum of every school on the planet. There can be no healthy planet without a healthy ocean."

* Peter Thomson, United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean *

"...a unique book with a collection of original postcards and messages from 50 illustrators across the world, working to celebrate and protect the precious life in our oceans. This is an amazing collection and will provide schools with a catalogue of illustrators to follow... a beautiful book with enormous potential for changing lives and attitudes for young people and adults too."

-- Sue Martin * The Book Monitor *

"This is a remarkable book: small and compact yet covering a massive topic... the layout is highly effective in communicating important messages about the destruction of the ocean and climate change...

When I first picked up this book, I thought it would be a quick read, but I was wrong. It has left me with lots of images and thoughtful words about how. An investment in this book will definitely educate, enlighten and inform our students."
