In the depths of the big wide sea, the little jellyfish hears a loud THOOMP. What is this mysterious sound?

A wise fish explains to the jellyfish that the loud THOOMP is a heartbeat. So off she swims to search for it. Along the way, she meets all kinds of creatures and learns about their heartbeats, from the seal to the whale to the octopus that has three hearts! But why can’t she hear her own?
With magical collage illustrations lovingly created by a group of artists called dame & dusa, this is a joyous, read-aloud picture book about the uniqueness of every creature’s heart.
Packed with fascinating scientific knowledge, including extra pages about the unique hearts of more amazing creatures, this engaging book conveys the incredible diversity of life on Earth, and encourages everyone to love how they are different and to celebrate being themselves.
