The Cormorant's Camera

Cormo the cormorant lives by a quiet bay, spending his mornings fishing and watching the waves. One day, a small silver camera with a bright orange strap floats by. When Cormo lifts it in his hooked grey beak, a tiny button clicks and a picture of his own webbed foot appears on the screen. Curious about what else the camera can show him, he slips the strap around his neck and dives beneath the surface into a world he has never truly seen before. In this underwater realm, Cormo meets Pip, a tiny orange fish with three white stripes who becomes his guide. Together they explore the coral reef, where Cormo photographs every hidden wonder, from a lemon-yellow sponge to a bright red starfish. But he also notices a plastic bag tangled in the coral and pale, broken tips, and Pip explains that the reef is getting sick. Cormo begins photographing the damage too, and on the surface, a marine biologist named Marina sees his pictures and offers to share them with the world.
