About the Author

Evelyn Bookless grew up on a farm in the west of Ireland. She is a nature lover, mum, teacher and writer. Her first-time diving was at The Great Barrier Reef. It blew her mind (but thankfully she made a full recovery!) She learned to dive properly in the Atlantic Ocean one winter. She saw an octopus and was very happy even though it was very cold. Evelyn has lived in Hong Kong and Singapore for the past 10 years and loves Asia. Her favourite place to be is in the ocean, preferably somewhere warm, as she's not as tough as she used to be. She dreams about clean oceans and contented sea creatures.

About the Illustrator Being obsessed with wildlife from a young age, Danny found his love of drawing through hours of copying scientific illustrations from books of animals and dinosaurs. His artistic talent later led him to study Illustration in South Wales, UK. It was here he found a love for classic book illustration and the use of pen and ink. Today, Danny creates art for children and adults alike. He has illustrated numerous books that mostly involve characterised animals. When not in his studio, Danny likes to spend his time adventuring and seeking out new places in nature that are relatively remote. He is happiest in a secret place surrounded by trees with passing water.

Review:

"Introducing the superhero who circles the globe to protect the green (and blue). This environmentally-conscious superhero story mobilized the neighborhood to consider how nature is impacted by our decisions. I was blown away by how light and fun the story maintained while also showing animals, beaches, and oceans in real peril. It took the overwhelming and made change manageable. Solid eco-friendly choice!"  Matthew C. Winner - The Children's Book Podcast

"The author tackles a relevant topic with finesse and helps young readers understand that they just need to be human to save the Earth... Charming and delightful illustrations." - Reader's Favorite Book Reviews
