Just saw that today is Global ♻️ Day. Please pause your eyes on The Adventures of Grandmasaurus At the Aquarium Rescue Centre where recycling is a theme. Published by @commondeerpress.bsky.social Similar books by @rochellestrauss.bsky.social @franbwrites.bsky.social #GlobalRecyclingDay #kidlit

Just saw that today is Global ♻️ Day and thus please pause your eyes on The Adventures of Grandmasaurus At the Aquarium Rescue Centre where recycling is a theme.

Also on theme...my book 7 of the Asha and Baz series (coming in 2026) has very strong recycling/plastic awareness/ocean conservation themes.

If looking for similar recycling/conservation books - check out @rochellestraussauthor @erinsilver1 @franbwrites @mireille.messier
