Herman Needs A Home

Herman Needs A Home is a picture book. It’s a fun, adventure story about a hermit crab looking for a new shell but it also has underlying themes of conservation, recycling and looking after our beaches.

A little crab’s search for a shell to call home.

When Herman the hermit crab gets too big for his shell, he can’t find a new one that feels just right. With the help of his sister, Hiro, he travels up and down the beach in search of a new shell he can call home.

They don’t find a shell but they do find something else - a pile of rubbish left behind on the sand. But can Herman make a home out of any of it?

“Herman Needs A Home showcases the challenges our marine life face, and is sure to ignite the passion of young children for marine discovery and conservation.” Jennifer Lavers, Marine Scientist
