Description
Celia Seagull perched on the cliff, eyeing up plastic and watching it drift. Scanning for pieces to weave through her nest, she held her beak high and puffed out her chest. Join Celia Seagull as she gathers plastic pieces from the ocean to build a bigger, better nest. With far too much on her agenda, busy Celia refuses to help sea creatures who are tangled in the scrap. But when Celia runs into trouble, who will help her?
Author Biography
NICOLE MILLER was 'born and bred' in the sunny Bay of Plenty where she grew up eating avocados on the family orchard and enjoying regular camping excursions with her Mum, Dad and three older brothers. After receiving a Bachelor of Teaching at Waikato University, Nicole spent 5 years travelling and teaching abroad. Now living back in Tauranga with her two young children, she enjoys writing educational songs for the students that she teaches, and in 2018, she released a children's song, Zero Plastic Christmas as a resource for schools. In 2019, she was finalised for the Joy Cowley award for her manuscript, Celia Seagull and the Plastic Sea. Nicole now enjoys balancing part time teaching at Brookfield Primary School with family time and her musical interests. On the weekends she loves to spend time in the waves, the snow or singing on the stage.
Reviews"A delightful story that speaks to the harm that is caused by the plastic waste that ends up in the sea. The message is clear: we must dispose of plastic safely and help all life in the ocean." - Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder - the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace
