VOLVO 'The Day The Ocean Went Away'

A CHILDREN'S BOOK TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF OCEAN GUARDIANS
Volvo continue the fight for the ocean's future by targeting children in a medium they are most familiar with. A picture book. In partnership with award-winning illustrator, Jago Silver, ’The Day the Ocean Went Away’ is a fictitious story about a little boy called Jack, who loves the ocean but wakes up one morning to discover that tide never comes back. Jack journeys across the dry seabed to find out why, meeting all sorts of beleaguered ocean creatures along the way. Whether it's a plastic bag-filled blue whale or a mermaid caught up in plastic fishing nets, Jack soon discovers that the ocean has plenty of reasons to go away. 1 in 5 Children in the UK have never seen the ocean. The hope is that this book will find its way into the hands of children who have never experienced the ocean and help them understand its fragility as well as introducing them to the basic concept of sustainability.
'The Day the Ocean Went Away' is printed entirely from FSC recycled stock and is available on amazon.co.uk. All proceeds from the book will go help more inner-city kids experience the ocean.
