Welcome to Litsy!

"The ocean is our life support system. The ocean gives us so much, and it‘s our job to give back."

This is a great book for introducing students to oceanography and environmental science. After reading, students can work in pairs to research different ocean creatures or write about how to protect the ocean.

This biography introduces Sylvia Earle, a pioneering marine biologist who dedicated her life to exploring and protecting the oceans. The book celebrates her passion for the environment and scientific exploration.

Never dismiss picture books as if they are for little kids. This #gazingbooks reads at a 5th grade level and is text heavy. It's the story of oceanographer Sylvia Earle. No timeline and few dates, this is more about how mesmerized she was by nature and her experiences exploring throughout her life. The illustrations are rich and provide seek and find opportunities. #everybodybooks

“Little Sylvia would sit by herself- very still and for a very long time- waiting and watching to see what was going on in the pond, or under the fallen tree in the woods.”

I really liked reading about this woman and her advocacy for saving the oceans and talking about how climate change is affecting our environment.

I had never heard of this woman before, but after reading this book it‘s impossible not to respect her after everything she has contributed towards ocean exploration. This is a great book for motivating young environmentalists who want to help save the earth.

“Sylvia Earle believes that if we do not learn about the ocean world we will never really care about it or take care of it.”

The illustrations are simple yet detailed and beautiful. They enhance this incredible story.

This biography is focused on the story of oceanography Sylvia Earle. It is an inspiring story about an woman dedicated to nature and the perseveration of the ocean.

“Every spoonful of water in the deep ocean, Sylvia says, is brimming with extraordinary forms of life.”

The pictures in this book are magnificent and show so much of her dives

Life in the ocean by Claire A Nivola is a biography that was published in 2012. This book is about a girl named Sylvia who lived New Jersey and would sit by the pond and stare at the water to see what was going on. Every dive that Sylvia had gone on she came back with a new story and new finds. She thinks diving is living diving into a galaxy.

#TimbitTunes Day 1: Oceanographer Sylvia Earle literally #StartedFromTheBottom in her heroic and courageous attempts to map the the ocean floor. As noted in Fats‘ review: “The book has full-spread illustrations teeming with the colors of earth & sea, inviting readers to dive with Sylvia into the unknown. In addition, Sylvia‘s story is filled with hopes, dreams, adventures, & a never-ending thirst for knowledge.” Her review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9jj
