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 Review
Saving the Seas for Purple and Green is a children's book that has beautiful illustrations and an important message. It's a book that will inspire readers, both young and old, to get involved in keeping the beaches and oceans (and the creatures who live within) safe and free from trash, mainly plastics.
The story follows Violet as she heads to the beach one day, admiring her favorite colors--purple and green--along the way. Once at the beach, though, she discovers the sea anemone and starfish in the tide pools are bumping into trash. A plastic bag floats her way. And a huge collection of trash turned into art makes Violet realize that even if it's something small, she can join in and help keep the seas clean for the purples and greens (and other colors).
This is a lovely book that can open discussion with younger readers about the environment and recycling, among other things. It's a story that will inspire and educate, while still being fun to read and look at. The book also includes helpful resources at the end, which I thought was a nice touch.
4.5 stars!

ReplyDeletePlease try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
