This beautiful and important book explores the issues ― and what we can do to help.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough we think of Earth’s five oceans as separate and distinct, they are actually a linked system of circulating water that is one single ocean ― the global ocean. This comprehensive and accessible overview explores the global ocean’s enormous influence on the planet, as well as humans’ often-detrimental influence on the ocean. But it also highlights some of the many ways people are working to restore and heal the global ocean ― from everyday actions to large institutional projects ― making the message of urgency as hopeful as it is accurate. Filled with fascinating information, stunning visuals and plenty of calls to action, readers will be inspired to discover what they can do to help heal Earth’s most important feature and, ultimately, our planet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBestselling author Rochelle Strauss applies a positive, proactive approach to the urgent topics of climate change and ocean conservation in this gorgeous and unique depiction of the global ocean, based on the most current ocean science research. Engaging illustrations on every spread by award-winning Natasha Donovan are eye-catching and powerful. Examples of real people of all ages making a difference can be found in sidebars on each spread with more at the back of the book. Two sections list ways to help, one for children and one for the adults in their lives. There are many curriculum links in earth and life sciences, particularly in climate, environment, habitats, ecosystems and diversity of living things. Part of the CitizenKid series, this book encourages citizenship and engaging in the global community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReading age: 8 - 12 years \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart of series: CitizenKid \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrint length: 36 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrade level: 3 - 7 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 23.62 x 1.4 x 29.08 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Kids Can Press \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: May 3 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe facts are as dramatic as the threat of loss.―\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eBooklist, Starred Review (Praise for One Well)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA timely exploration of the threats facing the world's oceans, this book will educate and inspire the next generation of environmental activists.―\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is seriously an incredible book that I think every educator should read ...―\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eETFO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne Well fills a huge void...This beautifully illustrated and superbly written book is exactly the tool needed to bring awareness of the life-giving importance of water to a whole new generation.―\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eMaude Barlow, Chair, Council of Canadians, Author of Blue Gold (Praise for One Well)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e... an engaging primer that encourages curiosity and promotes the importance of ocean stewardship.―\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire, starred review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn extensive index ... that sets an empowering rather than despairing tone.―\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written book should be read and acted upon by every family member.
