Anemone is not the Enemy

Anemone lives alone in the rock pool. The tide comes in and the tide goes out.

 

All Anemone wants is a friend, but friends are hard to make when you accidentally sting everyone who comes near you. Perhaps Clownfish has a solution to the problem ...

 

A funny tale of mishap, misunderstanding, and the search for true friendship in an ocean rockpool.

IN THE MEDIA

 

"This is, at first glance, a very simple, quite quirky and humorous picture book, with minimal text and appealing, colourful, digitally produced illustrations. But it is also a fascinating introduction to life in a rock pool: who lives there, who visits when the tide comes in, who is stung by the anemone and who it can form a symbiotic relationship with."—Margaret Hamilton, Books + Publishing
