Boyan: The Boy Who is Saving the Sea
About this ebook
Created for children aged 6 to 12, this illustrated book tells the story of Boyan Slat, a Dutch boy who loves the sea. At sixteen, during a dive in Greece, he is shocked to find more plastic than fish. Instead of simply accepting what he sees, Boyan begins looking for a solution.
What starts as a school project grows into The Ocean Cleanup, an international project bringing together scientists, engineers and volunteers to develop new ways of removing plastic from oceans and rivers.
Through Boyan’s story, young readers discover how curiosity, determination and perseverance can turn an idea into real change. The book also introduces children to ocean currents, plastic pollution, recycling and the technologies being developed to protect marine environments.
The story is followed by facts, a timeline and themed activities, including word games, puzzles and challenges inspired by Boyan’s work.
An engaging introduction to environmental responsibility, innovation and problem-solving, Boyan:The Boy Who is Saving the Sea is ideal for families, schools and libraries looking for true stories that encourage children to believe that even enormous problems can begin to change when someone has the courage to look for a solution.
