Below the Ocean: Keeping Our Sea Friends Safe

By Sarah S Anker

Book Overview

Below the Ocean: Keeping Our Sea Friends Safe is a fictional children's book, richly illustrated by international award-winning artist Lily Liu. The book is about a young seal, Sophia the Seal, who becomes entangled in the string of a helium balloon. She learns from her teacher, Daniel the Dolphin, that the ocean was once clear and clean, but because of garbage and plastic pollution, the ocean needs our help now to keep it clean and safe for our sea friends. The book encourages children and their parents to be environmental stewards by picking up garbage at the beach and recycling plastics. The book also discusses ocean gyres, that have become large garbage patches filled with plastics that impact sea life.

Plastics have been on Earth for more than 70 years and in that time, we have created over 9 billion tons of plastic waste. Most plastics and other kinds of garbage are not recycled and end up in landfills and in our ocean. The vibrant colored illustrations and adorable characters, in Below the Ocean: Keeping Our Sea Friends Safe, captures our imagination as we address the issue of ocean pollution. Readers learn about ocean gyres, sea life migration, and what they can do to keep our sea friends safe. For more information go to www.AnkerBooks.com.
