Oona and the Shark

Oona and the Shark tells the story of Oona, a determined little mermaid facing her biggest challenge yet: making friends with Stanley the shark. What will she do? This is a fun-filled and gorgeously illustrated celebration of friendship, creativity, and perseverance.

Oona loves to share her inventions with her friends. They’re big, bold, and loud—just like her!

However, there’s one underwater creature who doesn’t seem to enjoy Oona’s company or her creations. And that’s Stanley the shark!

Oona’s latest hopping, chopping, and popping inventions only seem to make him angry.

While Oona may not know what Stanley likes, she does know what he doesn’t. And maybe that’s a good place to start. Because mermaids never stop trying, especially when there’s a friend out there to make.

From the New York Times bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio, and featuring the extraordinary illustrative talents of Raissa Figueroa, the dynamic partnership behind Oona.
