Discover an ocean of Black History with Imani!
Imani doesn't like sharks.
They have big mouths, filled with big teeth, perfect for eating small children like her.
But when Grandpapa takes Imani to the aquarium, she learns about marine biologists and scuba divers - clever people who study and swim with sharks!
As Imani discovers the treasures of the deep, she realizes that the ocean is not always a scary place.
And it turns out the seabed holds other secrets too...
This fun educational read is filled with pioneering African Americans who are sure to inspire the next generation of marine biologists from all over the world.
