Selected by Julia Eccleshare
A brother and sister spend their day playing on the beach by a rock pool. They create their own tiny marine world in a bucket and, with its wildlife, shells, oil and even a tin can, it is a microcosm of the larger world outside.

Synopsis
One World by Michael ForemanWith a series of stunning watercolours, the multi award-winning Michael Foreman makes clear his underlying concern about pollution within the environment.
Reviews
His depiction of the children and the life of the seashore is accurate yet lyrical, with several interesting shifts in perspective. The little girl, refreshingly, is definitely the leader. -- School Library Journal
