"Clever...beguiling....Readers age 11 and older are likely to
finish this book feeling both persuaded and uplifted. Beauty has a
way of doing that." -Wall Street Journal For young readers comes an
imaginative guide to ocean plastics, filled with tips and tricks
for identifying-and combating-pollution in our oceans. Inspired by
biologist AnaPego's life's work, and filled with engaging science
and colorful photographs, this foundational look at plastic
pollution in the ocean explains why it is such an urgent
contemporary issue. When she was young, Ana Pego didn't play in a
backyard, but on a beach. She walked along the shore, looked at
tide pools, and collected fossils. As she grew older, Pego noticed
a new species at the seaside: plastic. She decided to collect it,
study it, and give it a Latin name-Plasticus maritimus-to warn
people of its dangers to our planet. Pego tells us how plastics end
up in our rivers, lakes, and oceans, shares plastic's chemical
composition and physical properties, and offers a field guide to
help readers identify and understand this new invasive species in
all its forms, from the obvious (fishing nets and water bottles) to
the unfamiliar (tiny, clear particles called microplastics).
Finally, she offers a critical look at our current "solutions" to
plastic contamination and in her most important
proposal-REVOLUTIONIZE-calls for deep changes in our habits,
motivating young and old alike to make a difference, together. An
artificial and almost indestructible species, Plasticus maritimus
deserves to have its days numbered! Together, we can send it
packing. "A cleverly conceived and comprehensive introduction to a
serious issue."- Kirkus Reviews Honorable Mention-Bologna Ragazzi
Award. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.
Walking, Finding, Sharing offers visitors of the world's largest
art exhibition a novel approach to experiencing art. Inspired by
travel guides and museum tours, this richly illustrated book
invites children and families, comic lovers, and seasoned
exhibition visitors alike to see documenta fifteen with new eyes.
Four international illustrators and four authors bring the universe
of ruangrupa's documenta fifteen to life through graphic
storytelling, stimulating readers' imaginations with their vivid
imagery. Each of the five tours - Humor, Local Anchor,
Independence, Generosity, and Transparency - is based on the value
system of the Indonesian curatorial team and offers ideas and
perspectives that complement the exhibition. Walking, Finding,
Sharing encourages visitors to find their own ways of approaching
documenta fifteen: each path is a suggestion and can be explored
spontaneously, in full or only in parts. This entertaining book
serves as a reference, a joyful companion, and an innovative guide
that will inspire both children and adults to engage with the
exhibition.

From award-winning Portuguese duo, Isabel Minhos Martins and
Madalena Matoso, comes another truly inventive picture book that
takes readers on a sensory adventure in the pursuit of friendship.
Rendered in Matoso's distinctive, eye-catching style,What's That
Noise? invites young children to investigate who exactly is calling
them from inside the book. Readers will delight in following the
clues by 'tip-toeing' with their fingers through an empty forest,
braving a terrible storm of their own making, holding their ear up
to the book to discern where to turn next and creating a shelter
for their new friend when danger looms. A story that can only be
told using fingers, eyes, ears and noses, What's That Noise?
engages readers on all levels, and shows that to build a friendship
takes time, patience and an adventurous spirit.
Some children fight sleep with all their might. And we can see why
- it is so exciting to be awake! But nobody can live without sleep,
which is why we've created this bedtime ABC, a book with the power
to have everyone nodding off long before the alphabet ends. It
never fails. Some people begin to yawn by the letter `B'; others go
out like a light at `P'. Almost all arrive at the `S' page already
snoring. Even the title of the book fell asleep.
