Interesting content!
Merci beaucoup
I wanted you to be aware of a new Middle School book called Making Waves by Albert Bates. I work for Groundswell Books and this is the second book in a series on the environment. The timely information tells about the value of our ocean and what kids can do to help. Let me know if you would like more information.
Thanks.
