This picture book for young children is about the beauty of every heart and celebrating your own uniqueness.

The Ocean's Heartbeat is a joyous, read-aloud picture book about the uniqueness of every creature's heart for children aged 3-5.

Packed with fascinating scientific knowledge, including extra pages about the unique hearts of more amazing creatures, this engaging book shows the incredible diversity of life on Earth and encourages everyone to love how they are different and to celebrate being themselves.

This magical picture book for children offers:

  • A whimsical and entertaining narrative that can be shared between parents/caregivers and children.
  • Beautiful, atmospheric collage-style artwork that captures the magic of the jellyfish's journey to find a mysterious heartbeat.
  • An important story that celebrates the diversity of living creatures and encourages children to value their own uniqueness.


In the depths of the sea, a jellyfish hears a loud THOOMP. What is this mysterious sound? A wise fish explains that the THOOMP is a heartbeat. The jellyfish listens to the wise fish's soft heartbeat but sadly realises she has no heartbeat herself, so she swims off to search for it. Along the way, she meets various creatures and learns about their heartbeats, from the seal to the whale to the octopus with three hearts! But why can't she hear her own?
