Humorous, intricate illustrations are perfect to engage readers aged 3-7 while teaching gentle lessons of civic engagement and rallying together as a community.

Under the sea, fish do what fish do: Seahorse hides, Pufferfish puffs up, Parrotfish crunches coral, and Crab . . . bakes cakes?
     Scallop swims, Dolphin blows bubbles, and . . . Crab bakes cakes.
     And so life goes on, until one night when everything changes with a splash!
     In the face of total disaster, can Crab's small, brave act help the community come together and carry on?
