Make story time with your kid fun and ocean-y while supporting @reefcheck_hawaii⁠
⁠
Meet Polly Polyp and the Curious Baby Shark, a heartwarming ocean tale set on a sunny Hawaiian reef. When Nalu, the baby shark, wonders where he fits in, he meets Polly Polyp, a small but mighty coral with a big heart. Together, they discover something powerful: every reef creature has an important role to play, even sharks.⁠
⁠
This beautiful story was created in partnership with Reef Check Hawaiʻi, which trains volunteer divers to count fish, invertebrates, and monitor coral health, helping safeguard ocean homes for sharks, turtles, and reef life for generations to come.⁠
⁠
Perfect for young ocean lovers, future scientists, and anyone who believes small actions are a big deal.⁠
