Book Description:

A young girl loves the tide pools that she sees on her runs by the ocean, but one day notices garbage amongst the colorful creatures she finds there. Along the beach she meets conservationists cleaning up the beach who educate her about the dangers that trash pose to ocean life. She decides to help also.

My Thoughts:

If you are looking for a children's book that helps explain what plastic can do to wildlife in the ocean and some practical and inventive ways to do something, Saving the Seas is just that book.

With colorful illustrations we go along with a young girl, Violet, to her favorite place, the beach. Here she encounters garbage where it should not be. Violet proceeds to help pick up what she can while also meeting others and searching online ways to help.

I believe that we are to be good stewards of this earth we were given, and I think a lot of us would not be happy to see trash everywhere in our own homes. So, with good practical advice, along with inventive ideas (some I never even knew about), this book highlights ways we can help. Not only that but it defines some words in the recycling world and in our ocean world that would be helpful for children and adults. The illustrations are colorful and unique, done by the author herself.

I was provided a copy of this book by the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
