I can't wait to share it with you all. Jim meets a new friend on the beach, She is sad and she explains why to Jim. The sea and the beach are full of rubbish. She doesn't wear the beautiful shells and pearls that her Grandma did, she looks a mess, she is ..
The Manmade Mermaid
Jim sets out to do something about it and along with his friends , family and school, They make a difference , just like you can.
You get a certificate as well and you have made a difference to the whole world. Amazing .

Well done

Its getting very near to the time I can show you my next bookcover all done for The Manmade Mermaid.

Manmade plastic is made from fossil fuels like oil. Plastic lasts for a very long time, although it can be broken down into tiny pieces it never disappears. We throw enough plastic away each year to go four times round the world much of that plastic ends up in the sea.
Sewage end up in our seas. Think about what you flush down your loo If you wouldn’t throw it in a river or the sea, don’t put it down the loo.
Most of the plastic pollution in the ocean starts out on land. It mainly comes from household and commercial waste.

It all sounds very grim doesn’t it but there are things we can do to make a difference.

You can help Jim and Stella, here are some ideas for you to try
Make a plan to clean a beach or a park

Ask people to help, it could be friends, schools or families.

Decide how to handle the rubbish, Jim had bags pickup sticks and he washed his hands.

A two minute clean can make a difference if we all join .

You can contact me.
I will be in The Storyshed watching the birds and writing stories.

Sam didn't like getting washed and dressed in the mornings. Putting his clothes on in the right order and the right way round was tricky. Sam would much rather look at his books and have pretend adventures in his imagination.
But could an imaginative adventure actually help him to get ready for the day?
Join Sam on his exciting journey across the seas as he meets pirates and snakes - and gives his Mum a big surprise.

You can meet Sam at www.facebookgroups.co/groups/thestoryshed come on in the kettle is on, there’s soft seats and a good story.

Whilst writing my new book, The Manmade Mermaid, I have been transported back to the seaside of my childhood.
Shirley Hughes illustrated it so beautifully.
I wont mention anyone falling in paddling pools, but Sutton on Sea Sutton On Sea Beachcare was a little bit of heaven and I am sure in time it will be again.
