Description

Learn the harm single-use plastics can cause in this insightful children's picture book about a sandwich wrapper and its surprising journey. After Marina throws away the plastic wrapper on her sandwich, the plastic goes on a journey to disturb a series of sea creatures before, later, washing up on a beach where Marina and her family are playing. This experience is Marina's introduction to the harmfulness of single-use plastics, lighting a spark within her to learn more and do more to help the planet. At once educational and engaging, Marina by award-winning author Jesse Byrd aims to open kids' eyes to how single-use plastics affect the earth while answering questions like, "What could happen to trash after I toss it on the ground?", "How much plastic is in our oceans?", and "How does plastic affect ocean life negatively?" Includes backmatter about the book's topic.
