Join us for a reading of the children’s book “Flying Deep” with Author Michelle Cusolito to celebrate Alvin's 60th Birthday! June 25 at 11 a.m. in Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Ocean Science Discovery Center located at 15 School Street.
Experience a day in the life of an Alvin pilot and join scientists at the seafloor to collect samples and conduct research. Along the way, discover what one wears, eats, and talks about during a typical eight-hour trip in an underwater craft and find out more about the animals that live deep in our oceans.
This event is free and open to the public.
My debut non-fiction picture book, Flying Deep: Climb Inside Deep-Sea Submersible Alvin, was awarded the PEN-NE Susan P. Bloom Children’s Book Discovery Award and was named a “Must Read” at the Massachusetts Book Awards. It was also on the Kirkus Best Books list and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Books list. My second book, titled Diving Deep: Using Machines to Explore the Ocean, was also a “Must Read.” My debut middle grade non-fiction, Window into the Ocean Twilight Zone: Twenty Four Days of Science at Sea publishes May 7, 2024. Jellyfish Scientist: Maude Delap and her Mesmerizing Medusas, illustrated by Ellen Rooney, and In the World of Whales, illustrated by Jessica Lanan, come out in 2025. My 6th book is sold but not announced yet. I’ll publish details when I can.
