It's hard to make friends when you're a shark. But this shark has a foolproof plan for winning people over ... if only they'd stop running away!
A surprising story about finding friendship in the most unlikely places.
Sarah Lane lives with her family in Ballarat, Victoria, where she spends her time daydreaming, drinking tea, writing stories, playing with her kids and getting super crafty at the school Library where she works. A lover of rhyme, long time picture book hoarder and big kid at heart, Sarah has always dreamt of being an author. Surprise Shark! is her debut picture book.
Patrick Corrigan grew up in a cloudy town in Cheshire where he brightened up his life with various creative endeavours and activities (his favourite was cross stitch!). He studied ceramics at university before training as an art teacher. He then went on to become the art director of a busy design studio in London. In 2018 he made the decision to try his hand as a freelance illustrator and has never looked back.
