This Is a Seahorse

Description

ILA 2021 Children's and Young Adults Book Award - Primary Nonfiction

A disgruntled seahorse fact-checks a school report about him.

When a child writes a report about a seahorse, the creature himself has a few things to say about the animals he's compared to. First of all, he is nothing like a land horse. His tail is much more useful than an opossum's tail. And his snout fits his face perfectly--unlike an anteater's snout.

Delivering fascinating facts along the way, the seahorse sets the record straight about what makes his species so special.

About the Author

Cassandra Federman was born and raised in Massachusetts, where she spent her childhood reading comic books, playing action figures, drawing superheroes, and participating in all things nerdy (before that became cool). She graduated magna cum laude from Brandeis University, where she cofounded the Brandeis Comic Book Club. After college she moved to Los Angeles and worked in film and television. Over the course of her life, Cassandra has been many things--a hand model, a wrestler, a manatee rescuer, an actor, and a mystic wood elf--but her favorite so far has been a children's book author-illustrator. Cassandra is the author-illustrator of the picture books This Is a Sea Cow and This Is a Seahorse, which received multiple starred reviews and won an ILA Children's and Young Adults' Book Award. She is also the author-illustrator of the graphic novel The Story Spinners. Visit her online at CassandraFederman.com.

Reviews

ILA 2021 Children's and Young Adults Book Award - Primary Nonfiction

STARRED REVIEW! "Federman (This Is a Sea Cow) has penned another creative and thoroughly delightful tale that will be an instant hit with kids and their parents. The digitally collaged art is eye-catching and wonderfully done . . . A definite purchase for all collections; children will roar at the interactions between the seahorse and Cassandra."--School Library Journal starred review

"A nice reminder that similarities don't erase uniqueness but create shared experience instead. Readers who are interested in zoology and silliness will enjoy this brief but fun journey through parts of the natural world."--Booklist
