A gorgeously illustrated collection of all sorts of seashells, complete with interesting facts, history, and more.

Celebrate the amazing mollusk—and the timeless joy of walking along the seashore and picking up a treasure of a shell. A personal, passionate pocket field guide, infused with the spirit of an artist in love with her subject, Searching for Seashells is a perfect beachgoer’s companion. Every page captures that feeling of finding something unexpected, with beautifully hand-painted images of shells interspersed with poems, interesting history, and surprising facts (did you know that limpet teeth are the strongest organic substance in the world?). It’s the gift of nature’s endless beauty.

About the Author

Jessie King Regunberg is an artist and writer in Washington, DC, where she lives with her husband and three children. When Jessie is not schlepping said children to sports games and playdates and trying to satisfy their insatiable appetites, she can be found in her art studio painting with gouache or creating mosaics. Jessie trained as a historian but found her way back to art after the birth of her second child. She writes for adults and children and feels incredibly lucky to be making a career out of the things she loves most.
