CRC October Book of the Month
Review from Storybook Cove: "The Mess That We Made explores the environmental impact of trash and plastic on the ocean and marine life, and it inspires kids to do their part to combat pollution. Simple, rhythmic wording builds to a crescendo ("This is the mess that we made. These are the fish that swim in the mess that we made."), and the vibrant digital artwork captures the disaster that is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch."
