"This outstanding story superbly visualizes pollution problems with art that hits the spot....It is sure to inspire our young conservationists-in the-making to work toward a sustainable ocean environment." -- Briggette Dusart, Cleaner Ocean Foundation, "Our lives depend on the ocean. Fish consume our waste and then end up on our dinner plates. I hope that this beautifully illustrated book will serve as a tool to pass on the importance of the ocean to future generations and beyond." -- Yohei Sasakawa, Chairman of The Nippon Foundation and founder of Change for the Blue "Kathryn Hahn's heartfelt and engaging reading of The Mess That We Made .... not only brings this powerful story and its characters to life, but it illuminates the consequences of neglecting our planet. We are proud to release a read-aloud that promotes literacy, and underscores the importance of environmental stewardship." -- Courtney B. Vance, SAG-AFTRA Foundation President "What I love so much about this book is that I love how they capture the ocean, the colors, the magic of being close to the ocean, and that it also tells you how serious it is that our ocean is hurting."-- Kathryn Hahn, Actress and comedian ( WandaVision , Parks and Recreation ), "This outstanding story superbly visualizes pollution problems with art that hits the spot....It is sure to inspire our young conservationists-in the-making to work toward a sustainable ocean environment." --Briggette Dusart, Cleaner Ocean Foundation, "Lyrical and rhythmic with vibrant, painty blue-hued illustrations, this will be a helpful addition to classrooms and home studies of the ocean and pollution." --Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup, "It is beautifully, and invitingly, illustrated with many spreads and is both direct and unique in its presentation." --Sallie Lowenstein, Old Books, Young Readers "Lyrical and rhythmic with vibrant, painty blue-hued illustrations, this will be a helpful addition to classrooms and home studies of the ocean and pollution." --Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup "A first step in making things right is admitting wrong. The Mess that We Made is a confession of responsibility for the environmental crisis that we are facing...In contrast to the serious content, the illustrations are beautifully translucent and whimsical." --Jenny Degroot, The Banner "The book has an important message, handled deftly, so that young readers understand the necessity of change and feel empowered to make it. The back matter includes additional interesting and educational material. A wonderful choice for every library." --Susanna Hill, "Our lives depend on the ocean.

The Mess That We Made is an educational children's book. The first half of the book explores what happens to marine life when the waters are polluted and the devastating ripple effect it causes in the world. But the second half of the book shows how meaningful changes can still save the day and how we can all do our part to create a clean and healthy place for everyone. This message will not scare children as the author chooses her words wisely and creates a rhythmic and fun pace. And the colorful images will captivate readers with the turn of every page. The bright and tasteful artwork will educate little ones (and big ones too) and inspire young minds so that when they grow up they can help lead the way to protect and preserve our waters. It is a brilliant way to help start a conversation about ocean pollution and encourage such needed change in the world. This book deserves a spot on every library, classroom, and home shelf. It teaches children important facts about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and about calls to action. It will hopefully shape the minds of our future leaders. If you are considering a new book for your children or your classroom in the new year, please consider getting a copy of this powerful picture book." -- Christa McGrath, EBC Reviews, "This may seem like a heavy topic, but it is one that children will want to get involved in. They will see the way that they can be helpful. It deserves a place in every school library/classroom." --Patricia Tilton, Children's Books Heal, "Lyrical and rhythmic with vibrant, painty blue-hued illustrations, this will be a helpful addition to classrooms and home studies of the ocean and pollution." --Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup "A first step in making things right is admitting wrong. The Mess that We Made is a confession of responsibility for the environmental crisis that we are facing...In contrast to the serious content, the illustrations are beautifully translucent and whimsical." --Jenny Degroot, The Banner, "In an informational picture book about oceanic pollution, Lord and Blattman present a clear and realistic message to young readers in a surprisingly enjoyable package. The rhyming text is in the style of The House That Jack Built , with each of the stanzas ending with "the mess that we made." This phrase refers to enormous garbage patches made up largely of plastics and caused entirely by human beings. The "we" in the text is important, as Lord does not shy away from our collective responsibility to the earth's oceans and its animals. However, she ends on an uplifting note. Comprehensive back matter elaborates on each of the repeated phrases, describing how each animal is affected by pollution, why plastics are particularly problematic, and ways that children can make a difference. This includes individual acts such as using reusable bags, but also collective actions toward systemic change. Blattman's digital illustrations bring beauty and brightness to an otherwise heavy topic, without making light of the severity of the situation. The pieces of plastic look like neon-colored confetti, clearly standing out against the swirling natural blues and greens of the sea. Through vibrant and immersive underwater views, readers can see a boat full of children observing the scenes below and, finally, working to clean up the waters. VERDICT A successful addition in a growing genre of engaging picture books about pollution and environmentalism." -- Clara Hendricks, School Library Journal, "Our lives depend on the ocean. Fish consume our waste and then end up on our dinner plates. I hope that this beautifully illustrated book will serve as a tool to pass on the importance of the ocean to future generations and beyond." -- Yohei Sasakawa, Chairman of The Nippon Foundation and founder of Change for the Blue "Kathryn Hahn's heartfelt and engaging reading of The Mess That We Made .... not only brings this powerful story and its characters to life, but it illuminates the consequences of neglecting our planet.

It then shows the positive change that can happen when we all work together to clean up our mess."-- Christina Dankert, 2nd grade teacher and picture book author "I adore this book.... The craft of the script and the illustrations work together perfectly.... It's funny and relatable for both parents & children.... We have read this hundreds of times and it never gets old!"-- Melissa Robinson, author, "Riffing on "The House That Jack Built," Lord crescendos cause and effect to show how human actions harm the ocean...Though the illustrations move quickly from cataclysm to all-cleaned-up, many are realistically chilling. Substantial supplemental information explains landfills and oceanic pollution and suggests more ways to help." -- Publishers Weekly, "Great book! Inspires a love for stewardship of the ocean in today's youth so that the next generation will not repeat The Mess That We Made . There is always hope in the next generation, a hope that they will create a healthier, more sustainable ocean." -- Anthony Saner, Director of ReefCI (Reef Conservation International), "Great book!
