Simple, rhythmic wording builds to a crescendo (\"This is the mess that we made. These are the fish that swim in the mess that we made.\") and the vibrant digital artwork captures the disaster that is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Children can imagine themselves as one of the four multi-ethnic occupants of the little boat surrounded by swirling plastic in the middle of the ocean who witness the cycle of destruction and the harm it causes to plants, animals, and humans. The first half of the book portrays the growing magnitude of the issue, and the second half rallies children and adults to make the necessary changes to save our oceans, before it is too late. Facts about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, ocean pollution, and how kids can help are included in the back matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flashlight Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947277144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michelle Lord","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672388235420,"sku":"9781947277144","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_831d7cb1-85b1-4a66-95a7-ba433c10b542.jpg?v=1603927605","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-mess-that-we-made-9781947277144","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
