Peppy’s Coral Kingdom by Nancy T. Lucas
Announcing the availability of a children’s book aimed at educating
students in Grades 1-5 about threats to coral reefs, with a heavy
emphasis on coral disease and anthropogenic stressors. The book was
created by a young artist in Charleston South Carolina in consultation
with scientists from the Marine Resources Center at Fort Johnson,
Charleston SC USA. The creation of this book was originally intended to
meet a need that local scientists espoused when trying to explain coral
disease research during ‘career days’ in the local public schools.
Although the book has a main story-line with identifiable characters, it
is filled with short informational ‘asides’ that could be used by
teachers to support a short unit on coral reef decline.
