- Book Synopsis
- A spellbinding story about a little girl, the sea and a seemingly fierce creature in need of her help - perfect for fans of Benji Davies' The Storm Whale. My toes hunt for grooves in the rock. And then ... I see her. While searching for wonders in the rockpools, a little girl discovers a silver shark, stranded in the shallows - sleek and quick, but still just a baby. The sun is high and the tide is out: how will the shark find its way home? Drawing on family memories of life in Barbados, award-winning author Mariesa Dulak and bestselling artist Alea Marley have woven together a spellbindingly beautiful story about our connections to the sea, and what we owe other living creatures.
