A poignant and timely picture book that introduces children to the issues of pollution, waste management and the ocean, with suggestions of lifestyle changes to help the world become a better, cleaner place.

An entertaining and beautiful eco-tale from the winner of the Batsford Prize

Meera and her mum are enjoying a break at the seaside. Until...

...a creature emerges from the waves. It's a giant. A blue giant. It has a stirring plea to help clean up the ocean and save the sea creatures from the menace of plastic waste.
