Allison grew up near the Gulf Coast in Florida.🩵 She spent many days and vacations on the beach and in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Allison went on to earn a degree in elementary education. She is a collector of children's literature and has always wanted to write and illustrate a children’s book. So, using the photographs from Amanda and others mentioned, Allison was able to create this book!
Allison now lives in Idaho and is an outdoors enthusiast. She regularly goes on mountain adventures and enjoys hiking, camping, biking, kayaking, rafting, and off-road explorations deep into the wilderness. Allison has a passion for nature of all kinds.
Who isn’t intrigued by sharks? Dive into Bubbi’s world,
and join her on adventures.
With loads of fascinating facts, this educational book takes you through the life cycle of a female bull shark. It is packed with so much bull shark information that most people, including adults, will learn something new about these amazing creatures! Therefore, this book is for children and adults of all ages. I say that based on the belief that even the youngest child gleans something, and often more than we realize when we spend time reading to them. My goal in writing this book is to stimulate and develop learning, knowledge, and even relationships for all who dare to dive into the world of bull sharks!
To keep Bubbi’s timeline accurate, I have used published research from bull shark populations in the Gulf of Mexico concerning growth, aging, and migrations.
This book doesn't end with Bubbi’s adventurous and informative story. It includes a glossary to help with the highlighted words in the story. I have also included teaching ideas and even an experiment at the end to help us all understand the uniqueness of bull sharks.
