Fergus lives down in the deepest, darkest depths of the sea and is scared of just one thing ... the light! Who's Afraid of the Light? is a fresh and funny new narrative nonfiction picture book from the award-winning creator Anna McGregor.
Come on a trip to the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean.
There are many fascinating creatures that call it home.
There's nothing to be afraid of ...
... is there?
From the award-winning creator of Anemone is Not the Enemy and A Pair of Pears and an Orange comes this spooky, funny adventure with a surprise twist that you literally won't see coming. Anna McGregor introduces young readers to the wonders of the ocean's 'midnight zone', where no sunlight at all is able to penetrate. We meet Fergus as he hides from a parade of sea creatures that use bioluminescence to find their way in the dark. At least, we think he is hiding ... or is it something else entirely?
