Created by the fish farmer's adult daughter, kids will get up close and personal with the daily life of what it's like to work in aquaculture through the pictures of "Edge's Aquatics Farm" in Soperton, GA. The beautifully illustrated cartoons were brought to life by the author to make the live photos more interesting and enticing. There's so much to learn in this book!
