My Children's Book

The ocean floor off the coast of New Jersey and Long Island - the "New York Bight" - is covered with thousands of shipwrecks. Many of these are historically significant, the victims of submarine warfare, navigational errors, fires and storms. All of them, as well as other wrecks deliberately sunk as artificial reefs, support a thriving marine ecosystem with everything from coral to humpback whales.

Kids love stories about sea creatures, and they especially love learning about the animals living right in their ocean backyards. I took some of my favorite photos, and put them into a children's book. There are actually two versions (with the same photos), one focused on New York City and one on the New Jersey shore for the young people of the Garden State. Click on the cover page below for a few sample images, then click on the left or right side to turn the pages.

You can order the second edition of the NYC or NJ version from this site, and flip through all of the pages of either version. There is no upcharge on these, I don't make any money on them. I'm just happy to share the beauty of our local sea creatures. And if you like these images and want to have more fun with them, they are also now available as cards for a memory game!
