Our Ocean Home by Robert Lyn Nelson (1997) is a tour of the ocean given by Honu, a sea turtle. The ocean is home to butterfly fish, monk seals, sting rays, humpback whales, and many more creatures. Nelson’s world famous paintings show scenes above and below the sea. His brightly colored palette is full of light that filters down into the deep blue water and shines on the marine life. Water glistens. Streams, rivers, and waterfalls send clean, fresh water into the ocean. “We all share this world, the ocean creatures and you. We are family.” Listen to Robert Lyn Nelson here.
