For World Read Aloud Day, join Delaware Sea Grant Education Specialist David Christopher and Danielle Dixson, associate professor at the University of Delaware’s School of Marine Science and Policy and children’s book author. Kicking off the series “Sea Story Time: Marine Science Through Storybooks,” Dixson will read her book “A Butterflyfish's Journey to Find Delicious Food.”

Finding food can be tricky for animals in the wild. Butterflyfish live on coral reefs in the tropical ocean. Some butterflyfish eat coral, taking tiny bites from one coral, then move onto another. Sometimes when certain seaweeds touch the coral it can change how it tastes.

Learn about how one butterflyfish family searches the ocean to find delicious coral food. Discover how the important secret seaweed agent unicornfish keep the corals tasting great for everyone.
