A shark has been named after Kelly Clarkson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kelly Clarkson is delighted that a shark has been named after her<\/p>\n

The singer was delighted when couple, Andrea and Darrell Clulow – who teach youngsters about the importance of the marine beasts through their children’s book, Finn and Friends, and an organisation of the same name – said on her show that they adopted one, and named it Kelly Sharkson.<\/p>\n

During Thursday’s (15.01.26’s) episode of The Kelly Clarkson<\/a> Show, the 43-year-old host started the segment with: “There’s no denying sharks can be intimidating creatures, but they’re also beautiful and a central part of our oceans.”<\/p>\n

Andrea then surprised Kelly that one had been named after her.<\/p>\n

Andrea said: “I love sharks, and we had the opportunity last summer to go on a research expedition, and the first shark that we got to \u2026 help tag, we adopted, and her name is Kelly Sharkson.”<\/p>\n

\nA thrilled Clarkson exclaimed: “Yes!”<\/p>\n

\nAndrea and Darrell wanted to find a way to teach youngsters that “sharks aren’t monsters”.<\/p>\n

\nAndrea said: “I wrote a story about this shark and his ocean friends, and hopefully kids will read this story and relate to these animals and see them through empathy and not fear.”<\/p>\n

\nKelly reacted: “That’s really clever.”<\/p>\n

\nDarrell said the book – of which proceeds are being used to support organisations linked with shark research, ocean conservation, and education – is interactive, filled with games, including word searches, as well as blank pages for children to draw sea creatures.<\/p>\n

\nAnd he hopes that the interactivity of Finn and Friends will help children learn something whilst having fun.<\/p>\n

\nDarrell said: “When a kid sits down and they draw something that they love, they\u2019re forming a connection. They\u2019re not just being lectured about conservation.<\/p>\n

\n“When a child finishes this book and feels inspired to get out and to explore, care about the ocean, imagines themselves maybe as a future marine biologist, or just sees sharks in a different way, that\u2019s our goal.”<\/p>\n
