Swim Shark, Swim! is a mesmerising tale following a Blacktip reef shark as he swims the seas and encounters other sharks and sea creatures along his journey. The story is beautifully told with glorious illustrations on each page that bring the ocean and its family to life.
Children not only get to follow the shark on his journey but they also will find that they discover and learn information about sharks that they might not have come across before, thus educating them whilst enthralling them in a wonderful story.
The text is very poetic and easy to read – ‘They are sandy-slinkers, ocean-drinkers and our shark could swim by to say hi but a hurricane winds above like a clock and shark has no time to waste’ and these words are encased by the darkness of the sea illustrations give the book an inviting pull.
This is a book that will take the reader on an adventure as they have never been on before. I can’t say I have come across a book like this before. It was a joy to read and to look at.
Hopefully Swim, Shark Swim! will be a big hit with children.

Bro the illustration in this is fucking mental like holy shit it's so good???
Story was reminiscent of a poem but turns out the author is a poet so
Also the lil facts page at the back was cool
Y'all need to stop killing sharks they're soo silly and y'all are just hateful I stg
Also #feminism like half the sharks in this book are women [maybe that's not super impressive but literally every shark book ever it's always men and I'm tryna fuck with some girl sharks]

Beautifully written, this book lifts the lid on the lives of sharks around the world.
With interesting facts in lovely language combined with striking illustrations, you may see sharks in a different light!
Perfect for little shark fans.
