Overview

Gus is a little shark with a big secret - he's afraid of water. While other sea creatures splash and play, Gus hides away, worried that he'll never learn how to swim. One day, he meets Miss Tito, a kind and wise sea turtle who teaches him that courage doesn't mean not feeling afraid - it means trusting yourself and trying anyway. With her gentle guidance, Gus discovers that he's stronger and braver than he ever imagined. Along the way, Gus finds friendship in unexpected places - from a playful seahorse named Josh to a curious squid called Sid. Together, they help him see that everyone learns at their own pace, and that mistakes are just part of the adventure. Filled with colourful illustrations and a heart-warming message, The Shark Who Didn't Know How to Swim encourages children to face their fears, believe in themselves, and embrace who they are. This gentle story is perfect for early readers and families who love uplifting picture books that celebrate confidence, friendship, and the beauty of trying something new. When we trust ourselves and face our fears, we can do even greater things than we ever dreamed of.
