Jellyfish floats about, drifting and dreaming and happily humming her way through the ocean. A huge swordfish suddenly slashes through the water, threatening Jellyfish with his sharp sword. Frightened, Jellyfish begins to sink to avoid Swordfish, but Swordfish gives chase, down into the depths!

Suddenly Jellyfish isn’t the sea creature in trouble! A bigger bully has Swordfish in his sights. To Swordfish’s surprise, Jellyfish begins to glow, letting him know he isn’t alone. Now Swordfish is in trouble. Will Jellyfish listen to his pleas for help?

Rhyming text, atmospheric illustrations and a surprise turn of the book to increase the tension, I am Jellyfish is a tale of bullies and the bigger fish that are always out there.

Despite being bullied, Jellyfish does come to the rescue, earning the respect he deserves! The cover even glows in the dark!
