Palm Beacher and Future Waves founder Gabrielle Raymond McGee will celebrate the release of her new children’s book, Ocean Superheroes: How Ocean Animals Help Protect Our Planet (Tiny Torch Books, Simon & Schuster), with a free launch event and book signing at Barnes & Noble in Palm Beach Gardens on June 20 at 11 a.m.
Inspired by legendary oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Ocean Superheroes introduces young readers to the role marine life plays in protecting the planet, while encouraging kids to become environmental changemakers.
The books follows a group of students that venture to the depths of the ocean with Earle, uncovering the rich biodiversity that keeps Earth healthy. A curious student discovers that the ocean is filled with “superheroes” and is inspired to become a “Wavemaker,” a member of McGee’s ocean conservation organization. She and her friends form a Wavemaker team to clean local beaches and protect ocean life, showing children that small efforts can create meaningful change.
With illustrations by Anastasiya Halionka and Angelika Scudamore, the STEM-focused picture book combines ocean conservation, science education, and empowering messages for readers ages 4 to 8 years. Ocean Superheroes offers simple, actionable ways to protect oceans and marine life, and includes a glossary and additional resources for parents, educators, and learners who want to dive deeper.
Kids are welcome to come in costume for a day of ocean-themed activities and storytime with Raymond McGee. One hundred percent of net proceeds will support Future Waves’ mission to bring STEM and ocean education programs to Title I schools across Florida.
