BELLA SAVES the BEACH

 Nancy Stewart
ROCKS!

I have known Nancy Stewart for some years, and we both share a publisher.  Nancy is an oh so talented writer, blogger, and great friend.  Today I have the great  pleasure of being a small cog in a Virtual Tour for  her new book:

Bella Saves the Beach
Illustrations: Samantha Bell

Nancy is the bestselling and award winning author of the four Bella and Britt Series books for children:  One Pelican at a Time (eighteen weeks on Amazon Bestselling List), Sea Turtle Summer (which won the Children’s Literary Classic Gold Award), Bella Saves the  Beach (which won the Gold),  and Mystery at Manatee Key.  The authorized biography of Katrina and Winter:  Partners in Courage, is the story of Katrina Simpkins and Winter, the dolphin.

One Pelican at a Time and Nancy were featured in the PBS Tampa special, GulfWatch.  All are published by Guardian Angel Publishing. 

She is a frequent speaker and presenter at writer’s conferences throughout the United States.  She conducts workshops and seminars and speaks to school children on writing and helping save their planet.  A blogger with a worldwide audience, she writes of all things pertaining to children’s literature.

Nancy’s travels take her extensively throughout the world, most particularly Africa. She is US chair of a charity in Lamu, Kenya, that places girls in intermediate schools to allow them to further their education.   She and her husband live in Tampa and St. Louis.

                                        Bella Saves the Beach
is part of Nancy Stewart’s award winning beach series. It features Bella and her friend Britt.  The story is simple and charmingly told.  The two girls love their beach, yet something bad is happening - beach goers are throwing their trash all over the place, instead of putting it in the bins provided.

With determination and some thought, plus help from their friends, Bella and Britt find ways to clean up their beloved beach.  The author also introduces some intriguing beach birds, tide pools and crabs.  A glossary at the back explains these creatures.

The illustrations, by Samantha Bell, have that sun drenched feel that yell, “Day at the beach. . .!”  The story and illustrations fit together – like bare toes in sand!

Littering is a huge “green” problem today, and Nancy’s fun story encourages children to clean up around their play area – beach or park.  However, don’t expect your kid’s room to be sparkling clean any time soon. . .

I recommend reading Bella Saves the Beach with your kids or to your class. 

What kids read often hits home. What a parent/teacher SAYS. . .
not so much.
