Reviews
When a reef fish becomes stuck in a plastic bottle, a caring human child not only rescues her, but also organizes an ocean cleanup...the simple story and bright pictures underscore the importance of taking care of our ocean.
--Kirkus Reviews Appealing hopefulness infuses the implausible tale of Alba, an orange fish who lives in a reef where "shimmering fish darted and dived, and strange creatures scuttled into hidden places."...Closing spreads identify animals in the reef and ways to take care of the ocean.
