I love this book! Bo and the whale shark is one of my favorite picture books. 5 star review! I love every picture, especially the page describing every shark. I loved learning about the Basking Shark, the Goblin Shark and the Common Thresher Shark. The Whale Shark is awesome and my mom hadn’t heard of the African Angel Shark before! Even adults will learn from this book!

Bo and the Whale Shark will delight children and adults with the breathtakingly gorgeous illustrations. Each page is a stunning work of art. This precious book will help children identify causes they care about in the world around them and will ensure their belief that they indeed can make a difference. This book deserves a space on every child’s bookshelf and in every primary school classroom. Parents and teachers can use this for studies about sharks and also to teach about activism and our responsibility to care for the planet.

Watching her artistic passion evolve over the years has been a true delight, culminating in the enchanting 'Bo and the Whale Shark'. Kirsty's artistry is genuinely unique and meaningful, reflecting her radiant personality. Her creativity shines through in every aspect of her work, from her captivating illustrations to her magical storytelling. What's more, her interactions with people are equally enchanting, leaving a lasting impact on all who meet her. As an educator, I had the privilege of witnessing Kirsty's gift firsthand when she visited our students. They were utterly spellbound as she read them her book, and it was clear that she has a special talent for connecting with young minds. I'm beyond excited to see where Kirsty's journey takes her next. With her remarkable creativity, passion, and dedication, I have no doubt that she'll continue to inspire and delight audiences of all ages.
