A beautifully illustrated non-fiction story following great whites, hammerheads, whale sharks, and more over the course of one day.
Set over a 24-hour period, meet tiger sharks, lemon sharks, and basking sharks in this kids' non-fiction book about the coolest predators in the ocean.Dive under the sea to follow the lives of individual sharks as they hunt, hide, and play their way through their day. Shark conservationist Carlee Jackson cleverly weaves the story from whale shakes to epaulette sharks (who hunt in rock pools!) in the style of a nature documentary, including science explanations perfect for future marine biologists. The book encourages kids to look at sharks in a new light - not just fearsome predators but endangered animals who play a key role in the ocean's ecosystem.
Carlee Jackson is a marine biologist and science communicator. She co-founded Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), which aims to make shark science more accessible to women of colour.
