Judith Shernock is a Psychotherapist who has worked extensively with children of all ages. She has written many non-fiction articles for other therapists. The author says,”My husband and I have visited aquariums in many cities and snorkeled in seas and oceans becoming familiar with the wild life that live there. However, a wonderful exhibit of seahorses in the Monterey Bay Aquarium , where I could study these amazing creatures for hours at a time, sparked the inspiration for this book. I hope the story inspires others to learn more about seahorses and octopi.”
