The author of the internationally renowned I’m an African Giraffe continues her pen pal-themed series with this fifth instalment. Tommy is a timid shark who struggles to make friends due to his fearsome appearance, so he decides to find a pen pal instead, to the “Floating Friend in the Kelp Forest” that the travelling turtle told him about. This is a heart-warming story about how, in this wide and wonderful world, friendship can always be found.
