Summary:"What can happen in the length of a whale's breath? A lot! Follow along as one whale dives down into the depths for the length of one breath. Meet a school of fish, a seahorse, crabs and sharks and jellyfish and more -- and see what they do as the whale glides by. Lyrically written text by award-winning author Jessica Kulekjian carries readers through the story, while accessible sidebars provide expert-vetted scientific information about each ocean animal. And thanks to Cinyee Chiu's lush, color-drenched scenes, young readers will delight in all the small details of marine life, from the shadow of a passing shark to the dancing kelp that uses sunlight to create oxygen. For the length of one whale's breath, every living thing in the ocean is connected to one another, including a human scuba diver and even an astronaut watching from space. This uniquely structured informational picture book has tons of kid appeal -- a perfect STEAM pick for animal and ocean lovers!"--
