He has also written two books about sharks, including Sharks Forever: The Mystery and History of the Planet’s Perfect Predator (which was commended as an Honor Book for the 2023 Green Earth Book Award) and Big Sharks, Small World. He has written TV shows for young viewers for Netflix, CBC, ABC, BBC Kids and PBS. He wrote, directed and produced the award-winning documentary The Hundred-Year-Old Whale. Mark hosts the podcast Skaana, sharing ocean stories, and is actively involved in the fight for the survival of the endangered southern resident orcas. He lives in Saanich, British Columbia.

“Thanks to My Octopus Teacher and other media, octopuses are having a moment, and thanks to this title in the Orca Wild series, middle-grade readers can understand what makes this strange animal so fascinating. The numerous color photos for different octopus species from around the world are the real attention-grabbers in this inviting and informational book.”
