This yet unpublished children's book beautifully highlights over twenty types of coral found in coral reefs around the world.

Scientists who study corals are working hard to understand and protect these important life forms as the ocean waters become warmer. This book puts differing coral species together with a fictitious little pink shrimp by the name of Cora. With coloring pages!
