My Year 2 class absolutely loved reading Duffy’s Lucky Escape! Following the journey of Duffy and understanding how plastics in the ocean are so dangerous and have a huge impact on sea creatures like Duffy really resonated with the children, even more so when they found out it is a true story. All of the children went away wanting to go to their local beaches to pick up any rubbish they could find! We loved it so much we are now going to read the other 4 books in the series. They truly are beautiful books that educate children on such important messages!read more

The children in my Y1 class are really enjoying Duffy’s Lucky Escape. We are using it as our Core text this half term. So far, we have written poems, ‘magpie-ing’ the beautiful vocabulary in your book. They have written some beautiful poems. We are working towards re-writing the story in the next few weeks. You have inspired our children. Some of them wrote about you on World Book day last Thursday as they are loving your book!We have also read Marli’s Tangled Tale and it really resonated with the children. Thank you!read more

As an early childhood teacher there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a class of little faces completely engrossed in a story...Ellie's book Duffy's Lucky Escape does just that. The book provides just the right balance of education, concern and action for children to feel empowered and begin really important conversations about looking after our oceans. Thanks Ellie! Your book is a resource I will share with the children many many times to promote lifelong, positive attitudes towards caring for our environment.read more

We are really enjoying having Duffy's Lucky Escape as one of our bedtime stories. My three year old loves it and it's been great to help him understand why we need to look after our seas. He enjoys listening to the story and picks out things in the bright large pictures. This story is a great platform for talking about looking after our seas and why we should reduce our use of plastics. Primary schools will find this an amazing tool for educating as well as enjoying a lovely story. Thank you Ellie.read more

Full Description

Following on from the success of Duffy's Lucky Escape, the first book in the Wild Tribe Heroes series, Marli's Tangled Tale is the engaging story of the relationship between the actions of humans and wildlife and the dangers they face in their own natural habitats. Marli's Tangled Tale is perfect as a bedtime story or to share with your school or preschool. It is an engaging story based on the true tale of a little puffin who becomes entangled in balloon litter. Stunning artwork captures the imagination of young readers and brings to life the very real threat balloons from balloon releases pose to our environment. Marli's Tangled Tale shares a powerful message which invites children and adults alike to question their actions and the effects on our environment. With suggestions for alternatives to balloon releases and ideas for the future together with activities which reinforce the story, Marli's Tangled Tale is a book which will inspire your own little Wild Tribe Hero to want to take care of nature and their environment by making changes to the world around them. Duffy’s Lucky Escape and Marli’s Tangled Tale have so far received personal letters of congratulations from Sir David Attenborough and Prince Charles who are both extremely concerned about the issue of ocean plastics and are doing everything they can to help raise awareness. The books have been featured on the BBC, in The Guardian, Mail on Sunday and Huffington Post as well as numerous local newspapers, radio and TV and also featured in international podcasts, blogs and press.
