Seeing a turtle with a plastic straw stuck up it's nostril was the first moment my son realised we have a duty to save our planet and we haven't looked back. Seeing this cloth book made in Sri Lanka and, of course,fairly traded did make me realise how far we have actually come since he was a toddler. Still not far enough but that's where this book comes in. It is never too early to learn these lessons. Can't wait for granchildren!
