Description
In this illustrated nonfiction book, young readers explore the steps that turn an underwater volcano into a new island. Simple text and real photographs walk through the eruption, the buildup of lava and ash, and the moment the volcanic peak breaks the ocean's surface. The story highlights the powerful forces that shape our planet and how islands are born from the sea.
