No More Plastic
by Alma FullertonYoung Isley loves the ocean and everything in it. Well, almost everything.
When a beached right whale has starved to death after swallowing plastic, she takes action against ocean pollution in a timely story with unique plastic-waste diorama art made from plastic waste from award-winning author-illustrator Alma Fullerton.
This moving, eye-catching, and ultimately hopeful reminder that the health of our oceans—and our planet—is in our hands truly resonates. Science and environment, marine life, art, and social action for the youngest readers are themes in this inspiring new picture book.
