It feels very close to my heart: inspired by the beaches \u2013 and particularly the rockpools \u2013 of the Isle of Wight, where I live. The beaches are beautiful, but, like a lot of other people, I am frustrated and upset by the amount of plastic washed up on a daily basis. So I&#8217;m hoping my book will not only pass on my enthusiasm for rockpools and rockpooling, but also help inform young children about the problem of plastic pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Here&#8217;s the blurb for <em><strong>Crab, Dab &amp; Blenny<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Fish friends Dab and Blenny are upset by the plastic that washes into their lovely rockpool home. Crab, on the other hand, just LOVES the shiny bright colour\u2026 But when Blenny gets caught in plastic twine, Crab finally understands the danger of plastics in the ocean. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Crab, Dab &amp; Blenny is a fun, rhyming picture book for 4-to-8-year-olds, with an important environmental message.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to find out more about the inspirations behind the book, and how I put it all together, my video session for this year&#8217;s IW Story Festival, <strong><em>From Source to See<\/em><\/strong> is still available on YouTube:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"FROM SOURCE TO SEE | PETA RAINFORD | IW STORY FESTIVAL\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rH-qMTBLeS0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like it&#8217;s been a long time coming, but it&#8217;s finally here!
