Good Book.


A newly released book by renown underwater photographer Beverly Factor shares with young readers a message about the need for ocean conservation.

Titled “Angelee Saves the Sea,” the 40-page hardcover features Factor’s original full- color photography throughout, with most images running full page to highlight the natural beauty of the underwater environments.

Beverly Factor tells the story of an Angelfish, who intends to save the ocean from pollution and destruction. Angelee’s plan is to create a picture book with photographs of all the friends she meets on a journey through the seas. Each fish that Angelee encounters shares a personal story about why their species is endangered, and how instead their habitats can be protected.

“Angelee’s goal is to give her photo book to the world’s leaders,” Factor says. “She hopes people will take notice of the beauty of the sea and the danger it faces, so they’ll change their ways to protect the ocean environments.”

Jean-Michel Cousteau says “Angelee Saves the Sea” is “certain to help the next generation better appreciate the wonder of the sea, and inspire young people to care for it.” Ocean conservationist Ted Danson calls it “an unforgettable adventure story that educates children about the sea.”

And filmmaker Greg MacGillivray says the story “is a wonderful paean of imagination, beauty and adventure, and helps us all understand the importance of the ocean to our very soul.”

“Through real underwater photographs, I want children to really ‘see’ the beauty of the ocean, and get to know its inhabitants,” Beverly Factor says. “Unlike conventional children’s books with illustrations, the photographs help children learn about each animal, and why it is endangered or threatened.”
