SOCIAL LEARNING LESSONS:
- A story that follows a journey of self discovery, self belief and the desire for acceptance.
- Using relatable character and humour as an anchor, these social lessons can be communicated in a fun way.

SPOILER ALERT:
This story is about self discovery and the desire for acceptance and understanding. Sparky and his friend Dax don't understand why people are afraid of Sparky. Sparky desperately wants to go to the Sand Sculpture competition and not ruin it for everyone. So they embark on an adventure to change particular aspects of Sparky's appearance. They visit 3 funny locations where Sparky tries changing his teeth, covering his fin and finally disguising himself by wearing a costume. But every time Sparky tries to change his appearance, it doesn't work. Instead he looks hilarious or absurd and they end up laughing so hard, they fall to the floor. He asks his wise old Grandpa for advise. In the end, Sparky proves to himself and everyone else, that he is a good shark and he just had to be himself. Grandpa was right and Sparky is a hero.

***** Love it!
"My kids just loved this app. The illustrations are so colourful, full of life, detailed, vibrant and fun. The musical background made the story come to life, and with the ability to read by yourself or with a narrator made the story all the more interesting. Fantastic animation and interactivity to keep the kids engaged. The fun disguises page is a real bonus with dressing up Sparky. We loved it, highly recommend."
