Great White Shark

Great White Shark by Claire Saxby is a beautifully illustrated, lyrical nonfiction book that follows a female great white shark on her journey across the ocean. As she swims through the vast underwater world, the narrative focuses on her quest to reach warm waters where she will give birth to her seven pups. The shark's movements are graceful yet purposeful, and the text blends poetic descriptions with factual information, educating readers about the shark's behavior and the ocean ecosystem. The book's illustrations by Cindy Lane capture the majesty and mystery of the shark, while Saxby's prose conveys the strength and instinct of one of the ocean's top predators. It's a compelling mix of art, science, and storytelling, shedding light on the life of this often-misunderstood creature.
