Little Pago is a story about teeny tiny turtle who
loves to be busy exploring his home in the shallow reefs. His days are spent
with his many friends, riding waves, playing hide-and-seek, and reading in the
coral library. All this activity makes Little Pago hungry and he soon goes in
search for food.
But danger lurks in the water with Little Pago finding
objects that just don’t belong in the ocean.
This educational story for 2 – 6 year olds highlights
the amount of plastic still found in the ocean and how it affects the ocean
life – but it also shows with kindness how we can help keep our sea creatures
from harm.
The illustrations continue the story with a soft
welcoming palette of blues, creams, and coral colours. The reader learns about
the typical diet of a turtle and how easily it can be to mistake it for plastic
floating in the ocean.
It reminds use to do our bit for our environment.
