As the protagonist, Sammy, embarks on an underwater journey, the story serves as an allegory for growth and exploration.

Emily Paret Atwater's articulate vision in this book is reflective of a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world, a likely testament to the author's own affinity for the ocean's wonders. Atwater has created a portal for the young readers into a world both mystifying and educational, a balance achieved by few that suggests a commitment to fostering a reverence for nature in her audience. The crafting of 'How Sammy Went to Coral-Land' possibly stems from Atwater's desire to instill a fascination for underexplored domains just as literature has historically opened new realms of imagination and learning.
