A personalised under the sea book where your child lights up the reef

At bath time, the bathwater starts to glow — and a little lost fish swims past in a bubble. Down through the bubbles your child goes, with a long-handled net and a shell that talks to home, to a coral reef whose lights are going out.

Make their under the sea book

A shell that talks to home

A painted storybook page: two girls in diving suits on the sandy sea floor, one holding a big pink shell to her ear and the other leaning in to listen
Speak into one big shell and the other one, back at home, hears — so they can say where they are.

Marina's lost pearl

A painted storybook page: two girls swimming over sea grass beside a smiling mermaid pointing across the reef
Marina the Mermaid's glowing pearl, the light of the whole reef, has rolled away and is lost.

The long net from home

A painted storybook page: a girl kneeling on the sea floor holding up a long-handled net, her little sister pointing at it
The pearl is under a low ledge, too far to reach. Then your child has an idea: the long-handled net they brought from home.

Time to swim home

A painted storybook page: two girls swimming up through the bubbles, smiling, one holding up a pink shell
The reef shines again, the little fish swim home — and so do they.
