Inspired by her love of scuba diving, Schilling invites children ages 6–12 to explore marine life through coloring, puzzles, and discovery.
For children who may never have glimpsed a coral reef or a sea turtle up close, author Kate Schilling is offering a window into that world. Her new book, Wilbur’s Ocean Adventure: An Ocean Learning & Activity Book, brings the underwater realm to young readers through a mix of marine life facts and hands-on activities. KS Creative Enterprises published the hardcover on October 14, 2026, with the goal of making ocean learning both educational and entertaining.
Wilbur and his underwater friends serve as guides as children meet whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, octopuses, and colorful coral reefs. Each section of the book explores a different facet of ocean life, prompting young explorers to observe marine animals, uncover interesting facts, and build a deeper appreciation for the world beneath the waves.

Alongside the facts, the book offers ocean-themed coloring pages, word searches, crossword puzzles, mazes, matching games, and spot-the-difference challenges. These activities put problem-solving, observation, and creative expression to work while keeping marine life at the center of the experience. Answer pages let children check their completed puzzles.
Schilling’s inspiration traces back to scuba diving trips with her husband, Mark, where she came to appreciate the beauty and diversity of underwater ecosystems. Through Wilbur’s Ocean Adventure, she hopes to pass that sense of wonder along to children who may not yet have had the chance to explore the ocean firsthand.
“Scuba diving has shown me how incredible the underwater world really is,” says Schilling. “I wanted to create something that would help children discover that same excitement while having fun, being creative, and learning about the amazing animals that live in our oceans.”
Aimed at children ages 6–12, Wilbur’s Ocean Adventure gives families and educators a way to introduce marine life through activities kids can enjoy on their own or together. The blend of factual information and interactive challenges suits recreational learning, family activities, and young readers with a growing interest in nature.

Why it matters: Not every child can strap on a tank and see a coral reef for themselves, but a book that pairs real marine facts with puzzles and coloring gives them a first foothold in ocean literacy. Schilling’s scuba-inspired approach shows how a personal passion can be reshaped into a learning tool for families and classrooms alike.
