Narrated in the poetic voice of the estuary itself, and accompanied by natural-history sidebars about estuary plants, animals, and cycles, THE SECRET BAY is another topnotch nature book from the author and illustrator of the award-winning, bestselling The Secret Pool.

  • Raye’s gorgeous watercolors reveal new features and hidden treats with each reading.
  • Back matter includes The Estuary Food Web, Great Escapes (how estuary animals avoid predators), and an author’s note about the challenges facing estuaries.
  • A perfect book for the budding naturalist and for his or her parents and teachers.
