Mother of Sharks
Melissa Cristina Márquez, illustrated by Devin Elle Kurtz
Meli lingers at Puerto Rico’s La Playita Del Condado after sunset because the ocean matters greatly to her.

There she encounters a crab named Jaiba, who leads a dreamlike journey below the water and explains why sharks need protection. The experience reveals that Meli is meant to become the Mother of Sharks.
