This video from Wired Science is fascinating. It shows the impact small jellyfish can have on our oceans. In the article, “Jellyfish Are the Dark Energy of the Oceans“, the author states that the fluid dynamics of swimming jellyfish and marine animals may stir Earth’s oceans with as much force as its wind and tides.

Called induced fluid drift, it involves the tendency of liquid to “stick” to a body as it moves through water — and a little bit of drift could add up quickly on a global scale. View the article.

This ties into the message in our children’s book, A Pirate’s Quest, and movie, The Riddle in a Bottle, that life on Earth is connected by moving water.

We published the children’s book A Pirate’s Quest, and the movie, The Riddle in a Bottle, to teach kids how life on earth is connected by moving water, and to help save our seas and ocean wildlife.

There is a fun website for kids from the Save Our Seas Foundation. Called “Save Our Seas For Kids”, it is full of fascinating information about sharks and other ocean creatures.

Did you know the sperm whale can stay under the water for TWO HOURS?  Or that sharks have been around longer than dinosaurs?

We figure if children learn to appreciatte nature, they will be more apt to want to save it. Get your kids together and visit Save Our Seas For Kids.

There is a nice article about our children’s pirate book, A Pirate’s Quest, and pirate DVD, The Riddle in a Bottle, in The Milford Times.

Laura Sams and Robert Sams teach children that life on Earth is connected by moving water in their new children's pirate book "A Pirate's Quest", and new pirate DVD, "The Riddle in a Bottle".

“We wrote ‘The Peg Leg Song’ in which a pirate must search for a lost family heirloom peg leg by following the moving water from the lakes to the rivers to the sea. Then we realized the song would make a wonderful story on its own,” said Laura Sams.

The book “A Pirate’s Quest” follows the journey of the pirate in search of the peg leg, following the moving water. That journey shows how life is connected through water.
