The book also covers where jellyfish are found and the different types of jellyfish, including those that can be deadly and those that are harmless. Some species of jellyfish are bioluminescent, which means they can create their own light and glow in the dark.

Through engaging text, readers will discover the many species of jellyfish and their remarkable abilities, gaining a newfound appreciation for these seemingly simple creatures. For starters, jellyfish have no bones, no heart, and no brain, which might seem strange, but actually makes them incredibly adaptable to their environment. Interestingly, jellyfish thrive in polluted situations that kill everything else and thus there has been a dramatic increase in jellyfish along the coasts of our continents.

Jessie takes us on a journey of heartbreak and hope as we learn that even hermit crabs are compromising by using baked bean tins instead of shells for their homes. From debut author-illustrator Chloe Savage comes a beautifully detailed adventure into the unknown, sure to captivate the imagination of young explorers. There, she resides in Amamizukan, a safe-haven for girl geeks - the last place she'd expect to meet a fashionable socialite! Jessie the Jellyfish is a sustainable children’s book that follows the story of Jessie who is a lonely jellyfish.
