About the Book

With humour and a touch of poetry, this picture book features a sailor named Lalo, and Rosa, a goldfish, dealing with the pollution caused by plastic water bottles. Lalo wants to find a safe and clean place for his fish friend, but everywhere they go has been invaded by plastic water bottles.

Praise for SOS Water:

“Pairing understated text with satiric line drawings, (SOS Water) highlights the serious ecological and societal harm caused by single-use containers . . . (and) is a crystal-clear clarion call to action.” – Starred Review, Quill & Quire, July 2024

“With a light touch in both text and illustrations, Yayo, deals with a most serious subject – the water pollution being caused by discarded single-use plastic water bottles . . . Its environmental message (will) resonate with youngsters.” – Highly Recommended, CM Reviews, June 2024

Awards:

The illustration cover for SOS WATER was awarded the Gold Prize at the International Cartoon and Illustration Exhibition on a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind 2024, in China. – Art Contest, China Daily
