Shawn is a boy, a boy who loves sharks. He loves everything about them, even their dark, blank eyes. He spends his time at the playground chasing the other kid and yelling “chomp chomp chomp!”

When a school assignment forces him out of his shark bubble, Shawn has the tables turned on him. He has two choices: enjoy something new or stay disappointed and cranky.

Shawn Loves Sharks is a book that speaks to every kid who loves something deeply, so deeply that maybe they have 127 books about it. The story celebrates Shawn’s interest while still giving him room to grow and engage with other topics.

A definite read for a shark loving kid, but is fun for everyone.
