Somebody Crunched Colin cover

In Somebody Crunched Colin, a crisp packet named Colin navigates his identity while highlighting the importance of recycling and addressing plastic pollution.

In Somebody Crunched Colin, readers are introduced to a unique character named Colin, who is unlike any ordinary flower. While he shares the appealing scent of the blossoms surrounding him, Colin has a secret – he is not a flower at all, but a crisp packet. This charming tale unfolds as Colin navigates his identity, crackling and fluttering in the wind, trying to find his place in a world that seems to overlook him. Animals are drawn to his delightful aroma, mistaking him for something edible, which creates a series of humorous and enlightening encounters.

The story serves as a powerful allegory for the pressing issue of plastic pollution, making it an essential read for children and educators alike. Written by environmental expert Sarah Roberts, Somebody Crunched Colin not only entertains but also educates young readers about the importance of recycling and the impact of plastic waste on our environment. The beautifully crafted illustrations enhance the narrative, bringing Colin's journey to life in a visually engaging manner.

This picture book is perfect for introducing children to the concepts of environmental responsibility and the significance of recycling. It encourages discussions about how we can all contribute to a cleaner planet. With its delightful storyline and meaningful message, Somebody Crunched Colin is an excellent tool for teachers and parents to inspire the next generation to care for their surroundings.
