Mother of Sharks

by Melissa Cristina Márquez

Illustrated by Devin Elle Kurtz

This fun picture book combines a love of sharks with facts about the sea and a sprinkling of Spanish. Young Melissa meets a hermit crab who can speak and he takes her on a journey through the ocean she will never forget. The author hopes this book will inspire young scientists to follow their dreams as well as highlight our collective impact upon the sea.
