Description
Isla’s fear of what lurks below the water is stopping her from meeting Big Blue, a blue groper. While her friends investigate the waters around them, Isla sits and waits. But when she finally becomes brave enough to join the search, they find that Big Blue is hiding, and they swim on without noticing him.
As Isla clambers out of the bay, she slips and falls into the water—only to discover that Big Blue is waiting to meet her.
Finding Big Blue is a beautifully illustrated and encouraging story that celebrates childhood adventure, confidence, and friendship.

About the Author
Christine Kodomichalos was raised in a family of ten with two dogs, three birds, and a turtle. Growing up in the southern suburbs of Sydney, she spent most of her time climbing trees and paddling down rivers with her siblings. Today she lives by the beach in Sydney, Australia, and still loves outdoor adventures. In fact, many of her stories are inspired by the fun she has had exploring nature with her family. When Christine is not writing, she is working in primary schools as a diverse learning teacher. Christine has a Masters in Inclusive Education and is passionate about creating opportunities for all children to shine.
