It’s spring! That cold, nutrient rich water upwelling from the canyon bigger than the Grand Canyon may make it hard to explore the “redwood forest of the ocean”. Instead, head to Bookshop Santa Cruz and do an exploration with author Josie Iselin and illustrator Ellen Litwiller. They will be discussing their beautiful new book The Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Forest—A mesmerizing tour of our underwater forests and what they can teach us.

If you would like a signed copy of their book when you arrive, you can pre-order it through the link in the orange button above. But, there is no charge to go learn about these organisms that can grow 2 feet taller each day, and all the mysterious creatures that use them to thrive!
