Swim, Shark, Swim!

 9.95

by Dom Conlon; illustrated by Anastasia Izlesou

‘A sumptuously illustrated, powerful poem with a repeated refrain (“he opens a tunnel / of bubbles and light and / swim, Shark, SWIM!”). It circumnavigates the globe, brushing fins with various shark species and conveying the dangerous beauty of their lives.’ Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian
