One Night in the Coral Sea
In 1980, scientists discovered that hundreds of corals on the Great Barrier Reef participate in a mass spawning event. Now, science author Sneed B. Collard III explains coral reefs and the coral larvae's perilous journey through the sea to their home on the reef. Intricate cut-paper illustrations capture the eye-catching colors of this underwater world.

Sneed Collard's non-fiction books are always a good bet, team it up with Robin Brickman's fantastic watercolor sculptures and you've got an incredible book.
