Discover Marine Life & Learn Alongside Luna on an Ocean Adventure for Readers of All Ages.

Written by 9-year-old, Hispanic author, 2025 Wavemaker STEM Competition winner and 2025 Go Blue Award Finalist, Emiliana Fuger and illustrated by Jess Burbank, Anatomy Under the Sea: The Adventures of Luna the Loggerhead is a rhyming story that introduces readers of all ages to marine anatomy and ocean life.

Join Luna as she travels across South Florida’s waters to lay her eggs on Juno Beach, meeting eight fascinating sea creatures — from Great Hammerhead Sharks to Atlantic Horseshoe Crabs — and discovering how their internal anatomy is similar to or different from her own.

Through playful storytelling and real science, Luna’s adventure sparks curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for the sea.

It is wonderful to see such a young author already demonstrating such enthusiasm for science and helping animals."
