About this ebook

The global ocean is in trouble — and kids can help! Though we think of Earth’s five oceans as separate and distinct, they are actually a linked system of circulating water that is one single ocean — the global ocean. This comprehensive overview explores the global ocean’s enormous influence on the planet, as well as humans’ often-detrimental influence on the ocean. But it also highlights many inspiring initiatives underway to restore and heal Earth’s most important feature, making its message of urgency as hopeful as it is accurate. Kids will happily dive into these beautiful pages to learn about our magnificent global ocean — and what they can do to help save it!

Ratings and reviews

eco-awareness***** The publisher's blurb is somewhat comprehensive of the material in the book. At the most basic level, this book details: 1. what is wrong within The Ocean 2. how did it happen 3. how can we get together to make better choices and help the oceans' recovery. While it is aimed at middle grades, it is excellent for reading WITH any age group (excellent illustrations by Natasha Donovan) including ESL. Libraries, schools, and homes need to have this book to read and act upon. Resources listed at the end. I requested and received a free e-book copy from Kids Can Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
