about

Blue shark - friend of jellyfish

Let's go below H2O

Sea-mingly simple tales of quirky underwater creatures that explore friendship, kindness and bravery. The inspiration for the series comes from combining a lifelong fascination with the ocean and the magnificent creatures within it with the lives of the children and the topics that are important to them. 

All the books are written for kids ages 4 to 8, but are meant to be enjoyed by story lovers of all ages. 

Jellyfish Hugs is the first book in the series. Crab Legs is coming soon.

BESSIE SCHENK

Bessie has always loved being told stories. Growing up, she realized that she also loved telling stores! Writing since she was a wee little one, she grew (eventually) into an adult (sort of). Funny how that happens. After ghost (spooky!) writing for many years, she's now opted to
stop doing that.

The Below H2O book series is her first series for kids ages 4 to 8. It is inspired a lifelong fascination with underwater creatures combined with the curious lives of the many children around her.

mireille van yperen

Mireille worked as a graphic and web designer since 2003 running her own company. After spending time in Australia in 2015, she decided it was time to turn that magical world - the one that played around in her creative mind since she was a child - into illustrations. From that moment on she helped many authors bring their stories to life. 

P.S. Bessie is particularly happy to have met Mireille.
