PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this visually striking book, when Sandy (who looks like a rag doll) visits Grandpa at the beach, she's dismayed that someone left trash in the sand ( Hadn't they ever heard of recycling? ). Picking up the garbage, she meets the Garbage Lady, who teaches her about her ecological footprint: The footprint of your life is the mark you leave on the world. While the message can feel didactic, Steele-Card's layered constructions, made from recycled and natural materials, are eye-catching. Ages 5 9.
