Von der hinteren Coverseite

Estuariesare the bays where rivers meet the sea—where fresh and salt water mix andmingle. And oh, what wonders are stirred up there! The salt marshes andmudflats may not seem dramatic at first, but look more deeply and you’ll findan amazing variety of plants, animals, and things going on. Some of theorganisms are beautiful, some are bizarre, and all of them are superbly adaptedto an estuary’s unique environment. The Secret Bay uses the poetic voice of theestuary itself to share its secrets. Sidebars provide fun facts on fish, birds,crabs, worms, and other organisms and reveal why estuaries are so teeming withlife and so vital to our planet. KimRidley and Rebekah Raye’s previous book, The Secret Pool, has earned a Kirkus starred review; RIF selection; theJohn Burroughs Association Riverby Award; a Skipping Stones Honor Award; theLupine Award; and other accolades. Once again combining the magic of a fairytale with the wonders of science, TheSecret Bay does for estuaries what TheSecret Pool does for vernal pools.
