Book Excerpt:

The male sea horse spent the night with his tail tightly wrapped around a piece of sea grass. His female companion joins him as morning sunlight begins to filter through the water. Every morning they greet each other with a dance. They bob up and down, circle each other, and intertwine tails.

The pouch below the male's stomach bulges with hundreds of baby sea horses. Three weeks earlier, his mate deposited her eggs in the pouch, where he protected them while they grew. It is now time for them to hatch. His pouch expands and contracts. Finally, tiny sea horses begin popping out of the hole.
