For early readers

A delightfully told and illustrated story of the friendship between a child and a whale.

For younger readers, ideally read with a parent or older sibling. The whale and the child tells the story of the pollution found at sea and what happens when the plastic waste becomes a problem for sea creatures such as the whale.

It asks us to consider what we do with waste in a caring and understanding way. The hard covered story book presents a nice way for younger children to understand what's happening with the environment.
