The Mess That We Made

“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) ""A beautifully illustrated book to show children, and remind adults, about the impact trash can have in the ocean. 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
