The Unexpected Visitor
by Jessica Courtney-Tickle
Buy on AmazonThere was once a little fisherman. Every morning he would take his boat out into the wide sea . . . and wait, and wait. When the little fisherman gets an unexpected (and very large) visitor one day, they instantly become friends. They have a lot of fun exploring each other's homes, but where have all the fishes gone? This stunningly beautiful and warm-hearted picture book all about the friendship between a fisherman and whale is the perfect way to introduce the notion of sharing, sustainability and taking care of the creatures in our oceans with young children.

"This beautifully illustrated book has a poignant, beautiful and clear message about overfishing. I would have loved to have seen the book go even further by recommending what we can do, for example by buying MSC fish or looking for other sustainability criteria when we buy fish – or to signpost some of the bycatch petitions and other things going on in the fishing industry. Yet, even without these extras, I still find it a very thoughtful and thought-provoking book."
