From the book:
Bella and Britt love living by the beach. When they find oil washing to shore from a gulf spill,. they want to help but are told there is nothing for kids to do. But when their old friend, the crooked beak pelican, becomes covered with oil, they help save his life by their quick thinking and action.
******************
Bella and Britt are playing on the beach when they notice oil washing ashore. They notify the park ranger but are told there really isn't anything the children can do to help. They need to leave this to the adults to fix. One of their favorite pelicans dives into the waters and comes up covered in oil. Along with the help of a young man who works on the beach, they quickly notify the crew working on the beach cleanup. Their action and caring helps save his life and they realize that they can help make a difference one pelican at a time.
One Pelican at a Time is a touching story of how the Gulf Oil spill has impacted the wildlife in the area. It encourages kids to be green in their actions and encourages parents to make sure that something like this never happens again. Additional resources are listed in the back of the book for your children in case you want to include this in a unit study about oil spills or our environment. Definitely a great way to explain the oil spill to children and to encourage them to do their part for our environment.
