2020 Nominee

The Brilliant Deep

Written by Kate Messner. Illustrated by Matthew Forsythe.
Published in 2018 by Chronicle Books.

All it takes is one:
One coral gamete to start a colony
One person to make a difference
One idea to change the world

The ongoing efforts to save and rebuild the world’s coral reefs–with hammer and glue, and grafts of newly grown coral–are the living legacy of Ken Nedimyer.

Kate Messner and Matthew Forsythe tell the true story of the coral restoration pioneer in this brilliant tribute to the wonders of nature and the power of human ingenuity.
