An Award For "At The Beach"

Teaching children how to enjoy and also take care of the ocean is so important.  The ocean is the source of life and we are polluting it, abusing it and destroying it.  I am so proud that my little book, At The Beach, was just awarded an international award because it is about taking care of the beach and the ocean while enjoying it, an issue that is critical to all of us, The health of the ocean and the appreciation of it and healthy enjoyment of it are basic to our wonderful world.  In this book, Lae Lae and Timmy go the beach and play at the water's edge under Lae Lae's mom's watchful eye.  The children learn beach safety in addition to beach appreciation.  Beaches can be treacherous with strong tides and children have to be carefully watched over around them.  Timmy and Lae Lae learn what is at the beach and what should be left there and what should be picked up and either thrown away or recycled. There is so much that is carelessly being swept into the ocean today and so much that our fish and ocean creatures  are ingesting that is very harmful for them...and for us.

As with all of the other books in the collection, there are fun games and activities to enjoy that help teach children about how to care for and enjoy the big beautiful world that they live in.
