Explore a world without sharks and the chaos that ensues. As overfishing threatens their existence, the balance of ocean life hangs by a thread. What happens when these apex predators disappear? Dive into a vivid exploration of the ripple effects on marine life and beyond, revealing the crucial role sharks play in maintaining a healthy planet. This thought-provoking journey challenges us to consider the consequences of losing these vital creatures and the urgent need to protect them. Will the oceans survive without their guardians?

From the publisher

A healthy ocean is home to many different kinds of animals. They can be big, like a whale, tiny, like a shrimp, and even scary, like a shark. Even though sharks can be scary, we need them to keep the oceans healthy. Unfortunately, due to overfishing, many shark species are in danger of extinction, and that can cause big problems in the oceans and even on land. What would happen if this continued and sharks disappeared completely?Artist Lily Williams explores how the disappearance would affect other animals across the whole planet in this clever book about the importance of keeping sharks, and our oceans, healthy.
