Young readers and environmental warriors will love to discover the treasure in the pages as the main character, Cassie, takes the steps to make a change at the sea shore. AWASH is an empowering and eye-opening story that will encourage beach-goers to keep our marine landscapes clean. With the visual language and selected emboldened vocabulary to encourage further text examination, the enlightening story is brilliantly captured by Sandra Severgnini‘s vibrant illustrations that literally pull you into the ocean scene. The incredibly realistic detail, textural qualities, facial expressions and targeted focal points invite readers to ‘feel’ every sensory feeling in an aesthetic, kinaesthetic, and heartfelt experience – Romi Sharp
