Spot is a very sweet Sea Pup out exploring the ocean! As author, Laura Knight says, this book's purpose is to teach children to "Be kind to the planet. Be kind to each other."
While Spot is exploring the ocean, he gets tangled up in trash and needs to be rescued. Adjacent to the colorful illustrations, there are vibrant photographs of real ocean scenery, taken by Richard Salas.
Help your child view the wonders of the ocean world and learn ways to help animals, all while taking care of our environment at the same time. Also included in the "survival guide" are fun ocean animal facts and activity ideas.
Laura Knight, a Southern California surfer, has grown to love the ocean as her second home. She hopes that children and adults will read Spots story, developing their own love and appreciation for this mysterious part of our world. She includes simple and easy to implement lesson ideas for parents and teachers to complete, bridging the gap between learning about a subject and implementing action!
Laura wrote the following about her inspiration to write about Spot:
"Spot: A Sea Pup's Survival Guide was inspired by a visit to a Marine Mammal Rescue Center, where I witnessed the rehabilitation of an injured sea lion. I write about things that I have a personal connection to, or experience, worth sharing with others-- in hopes to inspire others to positively impact our world. The oceans ecosystem is huge. My book Spot is an introduction to young readers, to see the vastness of marine life and why it's important we, collectively, do our best to protect it."
