Blobfish
A heartfelt and humorous adventure from the bottom of the sea and beyond, following one fish on an epic journey.
Deep, deep, deep under the sea … lives Blobfish! Blobfish loves telling jokes, although he has no one to share them with, so he sets off on an adventure to find a friend. But sometimes friends turn up in the most unexpected places, even at the bottom of the ocean. This heartfelt and humorous story gently introduces children to themes of friendship, belonging and the issue of plastics in our oceans.
BLOBFISH was shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize for Children's Writing on Nature & Conservation 2023. It won The Society of Authors Queen's Knickers Award in 2023, and the Federation of Children's Book Groups Books for Younger Children Award, also in 2023.
Reviews
Falafel has created a highly original introduction to environmental issues with a strong narrative about the search for friendship. Fish it out, it’s blobby good.
