An uncommon look at the commonplace of creation, this book will engage both children and adults with its combination of scientific accuracy, wide-eyed wonder, and subtle humor. Joanne De Jonge here presents a wealth of little-known facts about various birds and water creatures while highlighting each subject's unique place in creation.

Moving from the sky above to the sea below, this book first paints an awe-inspiring picture of our galaxy, then watches an eagle soaring and geese migrating. De Jonge also writes about the dark, not-so-silent deep, exploring a jellyfish and uncovering the beauty of manatees. Through- out, Of Skies and Seas reminds the reader that God's hand is evident in all these wonders.
