Story Walk: Ocean! Waves for All

From writer Stacy McAnulty and illustrator David Litchfield, Ocean! Waves for All is a light-hearted nonfiction picture book about the formation and history of the ocean, told from the perspective of the ocean itself.

"Dude. Ocean is incredible. Atlantic, Pacific, Artic, Indian, Southern―it's all excellent Ocean! Not part of any nation, his waves are for all. And under those waves, man, he holds so many secrets." 

With characteristic humor and charm, Stacy McAnulty channels the voice of Ocean in this "autobiography" is rich with kid-friendly facts and beautifully brought to life by David Litchfield.

This story walk is mounted in collaboration with the Maria Mitchell Association and its 2025 STEAM Festival: Waves of Discovery!
