An introductory tale about the impact plastic waste has on the ocean is told through a lighthouse keeper's friendship with a whale named Blue. Team Margot call to action: if you’re mixed race, we urgently need your help – you could be a match for Lara & others like her Lily’s favourite toy is Blue Kangaroo and she takes him to bed every night. Friends and relatives keep adding to her collection of cuddly toys until gradually Blue Kangaroo is ousted. The way he is returned to first place in her favour brings a very satisfactory resolution to the story, reminiscent of Shirley Hughes’ Dogger. A patterned text with a cumulative element reflected in the cameo pictures of Blue Kangaroo looking increasingly worried is set below pictures of Lily’s increasingly crowded bed.
