Stories kids read. Ideas kids wear. One unforgettable box built around an adorable sea creature that doesn't look real! The perfect gift for the child who loves the ocean and its hidden creatures.

This book takes children on a scuba dive off the coast of Japan to meet one of the smallest and most extraordinary sea slugs on the planet—a creature that looks like a cartoon sheep and performs photosynthesis like a plant. They’ll learn words like rhinophore, cerata, and chloroplast, and ask questions even marine biologists are still exploring.

As children turn the pages of this book, they will encounter striking photographs of the leafy green sea creature known as the Leaf Sheep. They will discover why it carries this unusual name, what scientists call it, and whether it is truly related to sheep or has more in common with plants and trees. Readers will learn where the Leaf Sheep lives, what it eats, and how it performs photosynthesis—creating and storing energy that it turns into food.

It is designed to engage a wide variety of developmental stages, giving families a reason to move away from a screen, to sit together, and to find joy in reading.
