Louie sees a shark at the beach, and that's that. Now everywhere he goes he's convinced he'll be eaten by a shark.

A humorous, heartwarming picture book helping kids overcome fears and anxiety thanks to Grandpa’s wisdom, playful storytelling, and a surprise ending that delights and empowers.

Sharks could be anywhere . . . in the bath, in the park, in the toilet! But with some help from Grandpa (who is very wise), Louie begins to face his fears. After all, he has fireflies to count, new friends to make, and a whole new world to discover. A funny, uplifting story with a delightful ending involving a surprise about one of Louie's friends.
