The Mother of Monterey Canyon

Created by Katherine Williamson and Emily Bettridge

The Mother of Monterey Canyon Off the coast of California, deep in the darkest recesses of Monterey Canyon, there is a heroic story being played out, as old as time itself. A mother battles for her brood, predators lurk for food, and one octopus’s desire to see the next generation successfully enter this world shows us what sheer will and determination mean. This true tale is full of great facts and intrigue, to ignite the minds of deep sea explorers, young and old. K- 5, Children's nonfiction, 11”x 8.5” hardcover book.
