Brenda Z. Guiberson's Into the Sea follows the fragile life cycle of an endangered sea turtle in a children's picture book story gorgeously illustrated by Alix Berenzy.

Review quotes
"Let Into the Sea touch young readers with a sense of place and sensitivity for this gentle creature of the sea." —School Library Journal, starred review
"A perfect choice for primary oceanography or endangered species units, this has a strong-enough story to use as a read-aloud as well." —Booklist "In Brenda Guiberson's sensitive hands, the story flows as freely as the currents that carry the turtle though the shallows and open seas. The variety of Alix Berenzy's pictures, from the eye-popping colors of a coral reef to the dappled light on an endless bed of grass, brings surprise with every spread." —The Five Owls Brenda Z Guiberson
Brenda Z. Guiberson has written many books for children, including Cactus Hotel, Into the Sea, Moon Bear, The Greatest Dinosaur Ever, and Disasters. As a child, Brenda wanted to be a jungle explorer. Her books are full of well-researched detail, and Brenda sees this research as an adventure--one that allows her to be a jungle explorer at last.
Megan Lloyd read the manuscript for Cactus Hotel and went to the Saguaro National Monument in Arizona to see the cactuses herself. Lloyd is the illustrator of many picture books, including Guiberson's Spoonbill Swamp. Classification
