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。」
