Being a kid is never easy, but can you imagine being a baby oyster in the New York Harbor? Big City Oyster helps us learn just how oysters live and grow in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty and the New York City Skyline. Packed with easy-to-understand facts, beautiful illustrations, and colorful bonus pages that include additional information, a glossary, and a species guide, Big City Oyster delivers on its promise to entertain and educate children of all ages. It's a field trip in a book!

Big City Oyster is the first book in the Adventures in New York Harbor book series, which focuses on life in and around one of the world's busiest harbors.

Filmmaker, writer, and illustrator Charles Ricciardi teams up with naturalist, entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder of the Billion Oyster Project Murray Fisher to bring this important and engaging story to life.
