Description
The Mess That We Made explores the devastating impact of trash and plastic on our oceans and marine life. Simple, rhythmic text builds to a powerful message, while vibrant digital artwork brings the disaster of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch into stark relief.
Children can imagine themselves as one of four multi-ethnic occupants of a small boat surrounded by swirling plastic in the ocean, witnessing the cycle of destruction and its effects on plants, animals, and humans. The book's first half portrays the growing magnitude of the issue, while the second half rallies readers to make changes to save our oceans before it's too late.
For more information about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, ocean pollution, and how kids can help, turn to the back matter for facts and practical advice.
