What is One World about?
A brother and sister spend a day exploring a beach and its rock pools. They collect shells, sea creatures and pebbles, then make a tiny ocean in a bucket. But their miniature world also contains oil and a discarded tin can, revealing how pollution can harm the natural world. Through delicate watercolour illustrations and a simple, thought-provoking story, Michael Foreman shows that the small world they create is connected to the much larger world we all share.
