Oona is quite busy trying to impress a new shark in town. Everything she does is loud and busy, until she finally realizes that the shark needs a different kind of friendship. Oona has the most fabulous hair of any mermaid! This time she is very, very busy trying to court that shark – so the illustrations are also much busier, with so many things to look at. Another good message book about the nature of friendship. Oona is Black.
