The Mess That We Made explores the environmental impact of trash
and plastic on the ocean and marine life, and it inspires kids to
do their part to combat pollution. 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, witnessing 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. Facts about the Great Pacific
Garbage Patch, ocean pollution, and how kids can help are included
in the back matter.
