Catastrophe By The Sea
From revered nature writer Brenda Peterson and told through striking and vibrant mixed-media collages by Caldecott Medalist Ed Young, Catastrophe by the Sea is a poignant story of redemption through empathy and compassion found in the most surprising places, and also provides a rich understanding of small creatures that live in a dangerous tidal zone.
The Seattle Aquarium is presenting a permanent puppet show of Catastrophe by the Sea, script and songs by Brenda Peterson, with extraordinary puppets by Dan Luce of Sacred PlayPlace Studios. Luce has also created puppets for Disney and Cirque de Soleil.

Praise for Catastrophe by the Sea:
“Catastrophe by the Sea is a real delight. Peterson’s playful text and Ed Young’s stunning art tells the story of a lost cat befriending barnacles and other tidepool creatures. This charming new book inspires children to celebrate and care about these often-overlooked animals whose brave and vivid lives are so vital to our oceans.”
