We Are Jellyfish - Paperback

by Christine Nishiyama (Author)

The second installment in the 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.

From the back cover:
You can find us in every ocean, from the glittering surface to the pitch black deep. We have been riding the tide and biding our time for over 600 million years. Through all those eons, we've learned a thing or two. And we're here now, ready to tell you: You do not know all there is to know. Come closer and we will show you. We are jellyfish!
