DESCRIPTION:A graceful bundle of nerves three times as ancient as the dinos
 aurs\, the jellyfish is no fish but a spineless invertebrate without brain
 \, heart\, blood\, or bones. Inside glass tanks in crowded aquariums\, jel
 lies hold visitors rapt with their slow-motion water ballet. Most of the w
 orld’s nearly four thousand species emit an otherworldly light\, glowing
  red\, yellow\, violet\, or blue in the underwater dark. Fifty species boa
 st deadly venom\, including pink meanies with boa-like tentacles\, box jel
 lies with two-dozen eyes apiece\, and deadliest of all\, cubozoans the siz
 e of human thumbnails. Coretta Scott King Award–winning author Carole Bo
 ston Weatherford brings poetry and playfulness to natural science as she s
 hares her fascination with a singular creature. Fourteen wildly divergent 
 poems—by turns dramatic and serene—pulse with life. From spreads of sh
 immering bioluminescence to graphic panels\, stylish artwork blends poetry
  with science and fact with folklore and myth to form the ideal introducti
 on to the “immortal” and mysterious jellyfish.\n\n \n\nAbout the Autho
