They’ll hear about: · the Be Straw Free campaign, started by nine-year-old Milo Cress, who also wrote an introduction to this book; · how scientists are using jellyfish snot and munching, crunching caterpillars to break down plastic pollution faster; · Xóchitl Guadalupe Cruz López, the eight-year-old girl turning old plastic bottles into solar heaters; · and many more incredible kids, not much older than our readers Acclaimed author Susan Hood’s clever and accessible poems are perfectly paired with Christiane Engel’s vibrant and dynamic art, making this a book that will inspire us all to change the way we think about plastic and our part in caring for our planet.
