A group of friends are super excited about a beach day, but they get
very disappointed when plastic grocery bags start getting tangled in
their bodies when they go for a swim. When they look around they see
that there is not only plastic bags, but bottles, plastic containers,
and more. Hedgehog has read about it. All the plastic we throw away ends
in the oceans. They have an idea. They don't want to throw away all the
plastic bags they have brought to the beach. They decide to make kites
with them.
I liked this story. It is true that it is simple compared with the complex plastic problem we have, but this is a picture book for little kids, and I think that the first step of feeling we can do something is essential. At the end there is also a plan/suggestion to paint your own cotton bag to use it for groceries, and never again use the plastic ones again. A nice and purposeful summer activity.
The illustrations are also cute, colorful. I kind of feel like going to the ocean. :)
