In the depths of the big wide sea, the little jellyfish hears a thoomp. What is this mysterious sound?

Featuring beautiful collage illustrations that capture the magic of the jellyfish's underwater world, this is a joyous, read-aloud picture book about the uniqueness of every creature's heart.

A wise fish explains to the jellyfish that the loud THOOMP is a heartbeat. The jellyfish listens to the soft heartbeat of the wise fish. But sadly, she realizes she has no heartbeat herself, and she still needs to find the loud THOOMP. She sets off on a journey of discovery. Along the way, she meets all kinds of creatures and learns about their heartbeats, from the seal to the whale to the octopus that has three hearts! But why can't she hear her own?

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