In the Water

Alexandra Dahlqvist

The water on the west coast is wild and beautiful! Here we find crayfish that pee from their heads, deep sea devilfish with luminescent tentacles, and in the fall, groups of orcas can be seen passing along the coast. There is coral reef, and did you know that all seaweed is edible? And watch out so a flying octopus doesn’t crash into your head!

This book takes the reader on a spectacular exploration under the surface of Sweden’s beautiful west coast where we get to familiarize with long-distance guests and well-known regulars. The book can be modified to work in other territories by changing the text in parts and deducting a few species/pages, if needed.

Alexandra Dahlqvist makes her author debut with this beautiful and inviting non-fiction book about species under the surface. She is an illustrator, graphic designer and art director. She dreams of one day swimming into a basking shark, or a blue whale.

 

“The informative and interesting text is complemented by beautiful illustrations in colour and black and white. /…/ This book will be of great interest to all curious children who want to learn more about the exciting flora and fauna of the sea.” BTJ

“In the water is an ideal companion for families with children and other curious people, locals or visitors who want to make a trip to the archipelago in the summer.” Marita Adamsson, Strömstads Tidning
