Ocean Sunlight: How Tiny Plants Feed the Seas by Molly Bang

Bang, Molly. Ocean Sunlight: How Tiny Plants Feed the Seas. New York: Blue Sky Press, 2012. 48p.  

Narrated by the sun, this creatively-illustrated, informative book describes the food chain under the ocean, from the ocean's sunlit surface to the vast blackness miles and miles below. Interesting trivia, like the fact that half of the oxygen humans breathe is actually produced by undersea phytoplankton, will promote class discussions on the importance of caring for the earth's waters.
