About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing litter at the park or beach and feels frustrated that grown-ups aren't doing more to protect the planet. It is an empowering choice for children who are beginning to understand the concept of environmental stewardship but need a story that feels proactive and hopeful rather than scary. Abigale the Happy Whale follows a spirited whale who decides she has had enough of the Land People's trash and rallies her underwater friends to take a stand. Through humor and a clever plan, the story explores themes of justice, accountability, and the power of collective action. It is an ideal bridge for moving from environmental awareness to environmental advocacy. While it deals with the serious topic of pollution, the tone remains lighthearted and the resolution is deeply satisfying, making it suitable for children ages four to eight who want to see their concerns addressed with a sense of fun and agency.
