One day at the beach, Marina and Biel hear a voice coming from the sea. It is the green hair lady, the marine algae that covers much of the seabed near the coast. With her hair full of animals and life, the green hair lady will explain the benefits it brings and ask for help to save her.
It is an innovative book: it approaches a problem that is difficult to understand and in a positive tone to the little ones, with a great effort to convey in words and drawings the complexity of the impacts that affect the oceanic sea grass, and why it is important that everyone gets involved in the its conservation.

Children learn practical strategies for coping with worry and anxiety.
→ Age Range: 3 - 7 Years
Gentle, supportive, and straightforward, Sometimes When I’m Worried describes a child’s experience with worry and the many ways it can surface. “Sometimes when I’m worried, my tummy feels funny. I get hot and sweaty. My legs jiggle like jelly.”
Along with the main character, young children learn ways to cope with worry, which can be a challenging emotion. "Daddy says, ‘Sometimes when we’re worried, it’s hard to control our thoughts and feelings.’ He says I might feel calmer if I find something I can control. He asks if I want to count to ten or do some belly breathing.”
A special section for adults offers more information on how children of differing ages express worry and anxiety, and how to help children manage these feelings in healthy and empowering ways.
