An environmental story about imagination, creativity, and giving a second chance to things that usually end up in the bin.
The book’s heroes manage to escape from the rubbish and start a new life. A TV box becomes a pirate ship, a jar turns into a lamp, and a plastic bottle ends up in a museum as a work of art. They are saved by the imagination, creativity and skilful hands of people who see new beauty in discarded items.
The book encourages readers to get involved, offering creative activities that are easy to follow. It shows that you don’t need another factory-made plastic toy to have fun – all you need is an idea.
The real problem of the modern world emerges in the background: growing mountains of waste and an oceanic island of rubbish where marine animals get trapped.
Iwona Haberny, translated by Kate Webster
