作者簡介
瑪麗.波.奧斯本(Mary Pope Osborne)、娜塔莉.波.博以斯(Natalie Pope Boyce)
瑪麗與娜塔莉是姊妹,從小隨著從軍的父親旅居世界各地。今天,瑪麗住在美國紐約市與康乃狄格州;娜塔莉則住在麻薩諸塞州。瑪麗為美國知名兒童文學作家,筆下的「神奇樹屋」系列書籍廣受好評,深受孩童喜愛。瑪麗與娜塔莉合力寫作了多本神奇樹屋小百科。
他們兩人針對本書的創作表示:「許多年前,當我們還是小孩子的時候,全家住在維吉尼亞州的海邊。我們會花很多時間在岸邊,找尋海星與沙海膽。那時,從我們家客廳的窗戶望出去,還可看到海豚在海浪之間遊戲。在這本書的研究工作中,最棒的部分就是參觀一間大型水族館。我們很開心能夠親眼看見那些才剛剛深入研究過的生物。因為寫作這本書,也讓我們更加確定,每個人都必須保護世界上的海洋,以及在其中生活的動物。」
