Hello! My name is Dominic. Thank you for reading one of my first books. This book was dedicated to my childhood at elementary school when during recess and lunch, I would catch bugs for both my curiosity and dream of being an entomologist. Also being interested into marine life. There used to be a pet store at my area that would sell fish and at the time, I would buy 12 goldfish for a dollar and take care of them. Later growing up, I grew another interest of cartoons and animation. When I found out that Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob was a former marine biologist and cartoonist, I though that it was great to have both hobbies into one. He’s my biggest inspiration to where I am now.
