Coral Reefs (Level 2)

Kristin Baird Rattini: As a freelancer who has written for children's magazines for 19 years, I've had the challenge of introducing young readers to a wide range of topics and the thrill of hooking their attention with writing that's both educational and entertaining. For Boys' Life and National Geographic Kids, I've covered everything from ancient Greek myths to the secrets behind Star Wars, funny money facts to amazing animal pals. Several of my stories are included in the 2010-2015 editions of the National Geographic Kids Almanac and National Geographic Kids 125 True Stories of Amazing Animals. I am the author of Weather and Seed to Plant, both Level 1 National Geographic Readers. I also am the chief writer of Angry Birds Explore the World, a 96-page special issue of National Geographic Kids.

National Geographic Kids believes in the awesome power of science, exploration, and storytelling. In our books we hope children will find whatever excites them about our planet and encourages them to explore it: eye-popping facts, fun photos, fascinating history, stimulating science and technology, amazing animals, or just a brilliant story.
