Not every shark follows the same current, and that’s what makes Connor so special. In a far-off ocean lagoon, one loveable young shark discovers what it means to be different—and why that might just be his greatest strength.
While the other sharks swam one way, Connor swam another. When they leaped, he dove. While they feasted on crabs and shrimp, he preferred the taste of sea plants. Connor didn’t quite fit in, and the other sharks made sure he knew it. But with his mother’s wisdom and unwavering love, Connor learns a powerful lesson: Being different isn’t something to hide—it’s something to celebrate.
This beautifully illustrated book is a heartwarming addition to popular children's books and a must-have for any collection of children’s picture books.

A perfect gift for little readers who need a boost of confidence, bedtime story collections, and classroom read-alouds, Wonderfully, Perfectly Unusual is a timeless tale that proves being yourself is always the best choice.

I love this book because sharks are very cool, especially hammerheads! I’m like the shark;
perfectly, wonderfully unusual.

About the Book
In a far-off ocean lagoon, a young hammerhead shark pup named Connor is different from the other sharks. Hearing his mother describe him as “wonderfully, perfectly unusual” gives him just what he needs to face the bullies.
Although it isn’t always easy, Connor learns not to back down, but to baffle the bullies with pride and his head held high. In the end, the other sharks begin to wish that they, too, were a little unusual.
