This book fills me with a righteous fire. I want to thrust it into the hands - or better yet, the hands of the children of - all those socially conservative traditionalists/bigots who say things like it's “not natural” to do X gender or Y sex thing. Remember Jordan Peterson and his lobster? And how he got basic biology wrong? That's how I feel when social conservatives talk about “nature” - I'm like, bro, do u even science? Do u even biology? Because dolphins are super gay. As are penguins, and albatrosses. “Natural” for women to be carers/nurturers loving their babies? Well, in seahorse world, it is indeed MISTER seahorse that carries the babies and births them. SO TAKE THAT.

Anyway, on top of this righteous fire, the book is immensely colorful (it is Eric Carle, after all), and interactive - there are trumpet fish hiding behind seaweed, and lionfish by coral. It is a feast. An underwater feast!
