Ollie the Octopus and Max

The class for this project we researched Southern California’s marine ecologies and explored issues of environmental injustice affecting the sea. For my final project, I created an illustrated children’s book about Ollie the octopus, who discovers microplastics harming his ocean home. With the help of a young boy named Max, Ollie and Max work together to raise awareness and inspire action against ocean pollution. Their story highlights the importance of protecting the ocean and the impact of small actions in preserving our environment.
