Marina: A Story about Plastic and the Planet by Jesse Byrd

4.5

If I had this book when I was little I 100% would have made yet another presentation to my family on why global warming is throwing me into a panic. 

When I was little and first learned about global warming I was freaked the fuck out. I remember laying in my bed awake all night trying to talk to God and angels to take the global warming away. 

I think this story showcases how small actions can make a big difference. I also like how it encouraged having a discussion with parents or adults in a child's life about what they can do to eliminate excessive waste. 

I liked how the illustrations showed all where Marina's plastic wrap had traveled and all the sea life it effected.
