Teach ocean conservation with this award-winning ocean children’s book!
Dive into an enchanting underwater adventure with Save the Ocean, a beautifully illustrated children’s book about recycling and protecting marine life from plastic pollution.
Through the eyes of lovable sea creatures, children will discover how plastic pollution affects ocean animals and how small actions such as recycling and reducing waste make a difference.
Save the Ocean tells the story of mermaid Kaleisha and a silly sea turtle named Agwe.

Along the way, readers learn about environmental awareness, teamwork, and how to care for the planet.

  • Written By a Biologist

    With a Bachelor's degree in biology and a lifelong dedication to our earth, my work goes beyond the pages of this book. I’ve collaborated with non-profits, the Department of Environmental Protection, and AZA-accredited zoos, rescued marine life and worked in wildlife rehabilition and I’ve developed school programs rooted in sustainability. I’ve studied herbalism and phytochemistry post-grad, and my efforts in youth education were recognized by Dr. Jane Goodall herself. Save the Ocean is more than a story. It’s a science-backed, heart-led tool to spark action and awareness in young readers that is utilized for science education globally.

Every copy sold helps fund my work in environmental education and storytelling. Even more, your purchase has a direct positive impact: one tree is planted, five ocean-bound plastic bottles are removed, and the book is printed sustainably with local and small-scale printers around the world.
