Exactly one year ago today, an explosion sank the Deepwater Horizon rig and the oil from the largest spill in US history has taken a toll on the ocean & the Gulf’s coastal economies. Things are still not ‘back to normal’ in many coastal towns and some may never fully recover. What can WE do? How can we make sure our children learn from this ecological disaster? Books like the one I am spotlighting today may be one part of the answer!

Bella and Britt love living by the beach. When they find oil washing to shore from a gulf spill, they want to help but are told there is nothing for kids to do. But when their old friend, the pelican, becomes covered with oil, they help save his life by their quick thinking and action.
After having been an elementary school teacher, a management consultant with New Options, Inc. in New York City and a university professor of education, Nancy now writes children’s books full time. She, her husband and children lived in London for eight years, where she was a consultant to several universities, including Cambridge.
Nancy is the author of two other Bella and Britt books: Bella Saves the Beach and Sea Turtle Summer, which will be published in 2011. All are published by Guardian Angel Publishers.
