With her home under threat from a warming ocean, Zobi, a brave rhizobia bacterium, teams up with a family of slow but steady zoox (zooxanthellae). As the coral bleaches, everyone begins to starve...

Can Zobi and the zoox work together to save the day?

This beautifully illustrated science-adventure story, set on the Great Barrier Reef, was originally published in 2015, but has been extensively re-written and revised to delight and captivate primary-school aged readers. Zobi and the Zoox: A Story of Coral Bleaching is the first in the new Small Friends Books series — Stories of Partnership and Cooperation in Nature.

Part of the Small Friends Books series – Stories of Partnership and Cooperation in Nature.

Reviews for Zobi and the Zoox: A Story of Coral Bleaching

I felt like I was a piece of coral and I was just watching all these little things going on in the mucus. I really felt like I was a part of it. --Bodhi Harper, 11 yrs old Aviva Reed's wonderfully liquid illustrations infuse the microbial world with life, colour and a sense of movement; they clearly communicate the complexities of an interconnected and interdependent ecosystem. --Tessa Wooldridge (review of 2015 edition), The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Reading Time Zobi and the Zoox is exquisite. --Robyn Williams, ABC Science Show
