Note from Author: Flidgywumper Saves the Seas has
been distributed to all primary schools and
community libraries throughout Belize, thanks to
funding support from the wonderful people of
Believe in Belize. Though plastic pollution has
become an alarming and rapidly growing
environmental issue, it is largely being
ignored. Key to writing this book was
understanding the importance of inspiring the
young -- who will inherit the problem, and who
in turn, will inspire the adults in their lives
to care and act. To facilitate sharing ideas and
activities related to solving the plastic
pollution problem, a facebook group page has
been established. If you are concerned about
plastic pollution, please join Flidgywumper and
the children to help lead the way to a cleaner,
greener, and healthier world.

From the Forward:
"In the seas is where we find
Flidgywumper, a lovable little green fish, who
— in this beautifully illustrated book — shows
young readers the scope of the plastic
problem, and offers ideas for how to solve it.
Flidgywumper Saves the Seas is a book
that inspires children -- and the adults in
their lives -- to care and ultimately
take action to turn the tide on plastic
pollution and bring about positive change."...
~This
book needs to be in every classroom and
