Salmon Run

Stunning watercolor illustrations follow the life cycle of a coho salmon, a precious keystone species within the North Pacific ecosystem. From the fresh water of a northern river to the Pacific Ocean and back again, this educational picture book tracks the transformations that the female salmon goes through, from emerging from a bright-orange egg to her post-smolting silver to the deep red and green of spawning season. Budding biologists will delight in this picture book that pairs science with imagination.
