Somebody Swallowed Stanley
Sarah Roberts, Illustrated by Hannah Peck
Stanley looks like a jellyfish, but he’s actually a plastic bag. As he floats through the ocean, sea creatures mistake him for food—with dangerous consequences. This imaginative and emotional story ends with a hopeful reminder of how small actions, like recycling, can make a big difference.
