Everything Down There Is On Shift
A hermit crab is house-flipping along the shoreline, renovating one shell and trading up to the next. A giant squid is on surveillance in water so dark almost nothing else goes there. Somewhere between them, a jellyfish is drifting past on a job most people never think to ask about. All of it is happening right now, and most children only ever meet it as "fish".
This book gives each of them a title. Fifty sea creatures, each introduced by the work it actually does, organised across seven ocean departments from the Shallow Shift at the shoreline to the Deep Sea Midnight Office at the bottom.
The watercolour carries as much of the page as the words do — and there are three objects hidden on every spread, so nobody gets through it in one pass.
