An extraordinary pairing of silk paintings with a unique story appealing to all… A Leafy Seadragon’s Tale, by Susan Louise Moyer, plunges us deep into the sea world of King Leify and Queen LaLeafa, giving an imaginative glimpse of the rare beauty below the surface of the planet.

This heartwarming love story follows the pregnant male seadragon’s reproductive lifecycle.

The world of camouflage, that provides protection for these creatures, evokes the beauty and subtlety of Susan’s illustrations… a quality in the art exceeding what has been previously possible in this medium.

Followed by Leify’s Game of Words and More to Know about Leafy Seadragons reinforcing the vocabulary and science of the storyline.
