Rocket Says Clean Up!

Reach for this book when your child expresses worry about the environment or feels small in the face of big problems. It is an ideal choice for families who want to move past 'eco-anxiety' into empowerment. Rocket, a spunky and curious young girl, visits her grandparents in Jamaica and discovers that plastic pollution is hurting the sea life she loves, especially the turtles. Instead of staying sad, she uses her passion to organize a community beach clean-up. The story beautifully models how empathy for animals can lead to civic action without being preachy. It highlights the importance of teamwork and the special bond between children and their grandparents. Parents will appreciate the vibrant representation of a Caribbean setting and the way the book balances a serious ecological message with a joyful, high-energy protagonist. It is a perfect tool for opening conversations about stewardship and community leadership for children aged 3 to 7.
