Description

  • Honorbale Mention—Bologna Ragazzi Award
  • A valuable, middle-grade resource to help kids learn about the effects of waterborne plastics and how they are affecting our world’s oceans and the planet itself.
  • Combines science, activism, and art into a multifaceted and highly comprehensive book ideal for school and home libraries.
  • Pêgo’s approach is positive and practical, inspiring listeners to not only learn about the problem, but to also become part of the solution.
  • Critiques current “solutions” to the plastics crisis, such as recycling, and offers better, more informed solutions, which kids and adults can try at home.
  • A fun “field guide” shares how to identify plastics as an invasive species: how to categorize it, collect it, and safely move it elsewhere.
  • Includes colorful images of plastics found “in the wild” in locations around the world.
