In lyrical prose with beautifully rendered illustrations, this gorgeous picture book introduces young readers to the amazing world of seahorses.

Hidden in the ocean of colorful fish, octopus, kelp, sea sponges, and other wildlife is a most unique creature: the seahorse. Watch it play in the seagrass, hunt among the mangroves, and sway with the sea fans. Can you find it as it camouflages and changes colors? The ocean is home to a variety of creatures, but the small and delicate seahorse creates a beautifully rich and fascinating life that is distinctly its own.

Featuring different species of seahorses and seadragons across the world, The Sea Hides a Seahorse is a subtle seek-and-find story that journeys underwater to glimpse into the secrets of seahorses as they swim, hide, hunt, court, mate, and more. Included at the back is more information about seahorses and how to support their protection and conservation.
