3 Minute ReadWhy we chose “The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish”
On occasion, you’ll pick up a book and be able to tell as soon as you open it that you are holding something special in your hands. In this blog article, we’d like to introduce you to one such picture book: “The search for the giant arctic jellyfish”. Chloe Savage’s book creates a magical atmosphere from the very first page. Even the front cover is enticing: the illustrations of the Arctic Circle, the crew and the equipment arranged by color immediately captivated us – and the story hadn’t even begun.
Dr. Morley, a young researcher, has big plans: together with her team, she wants to find the legendary Arctic giant jellyfish. For months, they traverse the majestic landscape of the Arctic. Surrounded by endless ice, they find belugas, seals, narwhals, orcas and polar bears – only the mysterious giant jellyfish refuses to show itself. Or does it?
Favorite image
The illustrations are beautiful and have a peculiar charm. Our favorite picture, which reminds us a little of “Balea” by Kalandraka Verlag, shows the everyday life of the researchers and the interior of the ship.
