The Selfish Shellfish and the Sick Sea

Andrea Harrison

Caleb, a self-centered King Crab leader of the Shellfish does not want to face that his shellfish subjects are struggling to survive in the polluted ocean. He learns a valuable lesson about the importance of sharing and caring when his friends take up the cause to try and find a solution to heal the sick sea.

This environmental story is meant to create an awareness in young children about the importance of preserving the ocean, as well as reminding them that problems affecting everyone in a community can be solved with cooperation, generosity, empathy, and truthfulness.
