Elliot was on holiday by the sea. He went for a paddle and built a sand whale. It was fun but what he really wanted was an adventure...
He finds a message in a bottle from Father Christmas, asking for urgent help to save his home. Elliot sails to the Arctic with children from all over the world. to stop the oil drillers and to rescue the Arctic.
A great picture book with a plenty of meaning. Through the story and illustrations we follow Elliot in his quest and discover icebergs falling into the sea, oil rigs creating heat and undermining the stability of the Arctic.
Written by Catherine Barr and illustrated by Francesca Chesa and published by Frances Lincoln Children's Books.
The book has been developed in conversation with Greenpeace and the blurb on the back cover from Booktrust states, 'If the people of the world unite to protect the planet, there is hope for a better future.'
A good reason why children's books are so important in creating an understanding of truths and reasons for making a difference.
