- bioText: Casey Zakroff is a marine ecophysiologist (he studies how animals' bodies function and interact with their environment), researching how stress impacts marine invertebrates (especially squid and other cephalopods!). He is also an avid science communicator, and, now, comics author. Growing up on the coasts of Florida and Maine, he pursued a passion for the ocean, going tidepooling and whale watching, and eventually scuba diving in reefs across the world. He has a PhD in Biological Oceanography from MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), which he was working on when he wrote Science Comics: Whales, his first graphic novel.

When beaked whale Zip is tagged with an underwater microphone by "aliens" (i.e., human scientists), he decides to travel the ocean and interview different whale species. Brisk text is packed with facts about whale biology and behavior and climate change. Sly humor balances serious observations about ecological damage and the interconnected nature of life on Earth. Digital comic-panel illustrations employ simple line work with a mostly blue-green palette (shifting to eerie photo-negative colors for human encounters). Whale and "Human Impact" glossaries and suggestions for further reading are appended.(Copyright 2021 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
