Explore the wonders beneath the waves in this high-contrast ocean book created for all children — and thoughtfully designed to include those with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), low vision, and sensory needs.

What Lives in the Ocean features real photographs, bold visuals, and minimal clutter to support visual access and early learning. The book’s fun, rhythmic language invites young readers into a world of discovery, helping to spark attention, build listening skills, and awaken a child’s natural sense of wonder.

Research shows that high-contrast, realistic visuals aren’t just helpful for children with CVI — they’re powerful for all developing brains.
