Bibi can’t wait to have fun in the sun, surf, and sand. But she’s shocked when the pristine playground she was expecting is covered in garbage.

Determined to solve the mystery, the conscientious child discovers the trash bins are broken, the no-littering signs are faded and the recycling area is hidden.

Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Ages: 5-8 years
Pages: 38
Publisher: Aya Press

But with a job so big, she fears rolling up her sleeves and getting her hands dirty won’t be enough to set things right.

Can Bibi recruit her community to jump in and turn the dump into a paradise?

My Review

The reason I gave this book 5 stars is not just because it’s a nice little story with lovely illustrations, it’s also about the message. And it’s one we should take very seriously.

Three of my four granddaughters (the youngest is only three) are learning about the climate and the problems with litter and are intent on protecting our wildlife. Many children of their age are very concerned (and some have even become anxious) about the state of the seas and oceans, and of the legacy we are leaving behind.

So this review is a serious one. We must follow the example set by Bibi and her friends. We must do something, however small, and ignore those who pretend it’s not a problem. At the end of the book, we have a double page section called How to Organize a Beach Clean Up! ‘Do you want to become an agent of change by promoting climate action?’ The section is very informative and sounds like a fun day. Always have adults on hand in case of hazardous waste. And share your event on social media so others can follow your example.

Many thanks to @lovebookstours for inviting me to be part of the #BibiSavesTheOcean blog tour.
