The ocean is full of wonder indeed, and I am glad to have come across this beautiful story, which not only reveals some of its splendors, but also draws attention to how fragile it actually is. Anna Smithers is a wonderful author, we loved “Tree Full of Wonder”. Her books are not only magical, but they also often reveal how the world should be, and what we can do to look after our planet and its vital ecosystems. The book has some of the most beautiful illustrations I have ever seen, so incredibly detailed and brightly colored, inviting young readers to discover the wonders of water.My opinion:As parents, we have an important duty, that is to show our kids how amazing and diverse our world is. I absolutely loved that Anna chose the ocean, speaking of its precious colors, the way it sings, and how it seems to go on forever. She manages reveals its wonders through beautiful words, teaching kids that life near the ocean is fun. With a natural style, speaking like a close friend, she invites them to use their imagination and see the ocean as the amazing body of water that it is. In her own words, the ocean is “full of joy and wonder”.Her book has an educational value as well, and I think all the children should be educated on the topics of climate change and environmental protections. Thanks to this lovely story, they can discover the role of the ocean, how essential the plants inhabiting it are, and how much our entire planet depends on this body of water. The words “precious water” gave me chills, as I think we are at a crossroad nowadays, deciding the fate of our planet. We need to teach our children, the future generations, that we must and should protect the ocean, before it is too late.I don’t want to give the entire book away, but I want to say that the author managed to approach important topics, including the one of plastic. She speaks of creatures that live in the ocean and how amazing they are, drawing kids with her beautiful words. Can you imagine what creature sings “a dreamy tale”? You will find the answer in the book. I was so happy to read it with my daughter, as it gave me the opportunity to talk about the best ways to make the ocean cleaner, which in turns will ensure the health of our planet. We should teach our children that each good action matters, the more, the better.Verdict:“Ocean Full of Wonder” is a beautiful book, one which reveals the beauty of the ocean, but also how it suffers because of us, with the author kindly offering suggestions on how we can help it heal. I am in love with the illustrations, which are so incredibly detailed and colorful. The educational value of this book cannot be forgotten, I am so thankful to the author for taking the time to research the topic of ocean health so in-depth. At the end of the book, you will find additional tips on how to look after our planet, I think these are more than useful, and we should all give them a try. From an author full of a wonder, a book full of wonder!
