Here Is the Coral Reef
What you need to know before your trail
This lyrical rhyming tale introduces young readers to some of the coral reef’s most striking residents. From the sleek shark to the colorful parrotfish to the deceptively beautiful sea anemone, each creature in this abundant undersea world relies on another for its existence.
Beginning with coral, the very element that defines this ecosystem, the book uses repetition to reveal the fragile chain that links each of the plants and animals in this unique environment. Tom Leonard’s vibrant paintings capture this miraculous circle of life.

The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Queensland in northeastern Australia, is the largest living thing on Earth, and even visible from outer space.
The 2,300km-long ecosystem comprises thousands of reefs and hundreds of islands made of over 600 types of hard and soft coral. It’s home to countless species of colourful fish, molluscs and starfish, plus turtles, dolphins and sharks.
