From the team that created One Step at a Time, a CBCA Honour Book, and Papa Sky, a CBCA notable book.

Mama Ocean had eyes that sparkled, like sunlight on the sea, and tresses which tumbled and trailed through the tides.

But something is troubling Mama Ocean. Who will help her?

'From Jane Jolly and Sally Heinrich, creators of One Step at a Time and Papa Sky, comes Mama Ocean, a picture book
about the sparkling ruler of the seas, with tresses that trail and tumble
through emerald tides. As Mama sickens, in order to restore her as jewel of the
ocean once more, her children of the sea must realise the correlation between
their ‘gifts’—found bobbing in the water — and her increasing suffocation.
Jolly’s sweeping language is as poetic as the entrancing waves of Heinrich’s
illustrations. The alliteration, descriptive terms and short, snappy sentences
enhance the visuals, the words literally bending and swirling among the
striking pictures. The fluidity of the ocean is evoked with curling lines and
watercolour, with bright oranges, yellows and reds that contrast with the
emerald backdrop, which slowly greys as the rubbish thickens and Mama Ocean
becomes more ill. This is an enlightening story with a strong environmental
message about the impact of litter on our ocean’s ecosystem, encapsulated
within a mesmerising visual presentation. Mama
Ocean’s important message is conveyed with a charm and playfulness
that will encourage sustainability practice in pre- and primary school children.' — Romi Sharp, Books+Publishing
