This is the story of a plastic bag that flies out of a landfill and is blown through a neighbourhood.

It highlights the issue of rubbish, particularly plastic bags, but also the way that one persons decisions and actions affect others in the wider community.

This is another book younger grades will enjoy, but that can also make an excellent springboard for deeper conversations with senior primary students. It invites comparison with more global issues such as sea pollution.

A sneak peak of the book is available from Amazon.
