Marli’s Tangled Tale - Signed Copy

Written in Cornwall by Ellie Jackson, an environmental scientist who taught geography for six years, 'Marli’s Tangled Tale' is the second book in the highly acclaimed #1 best-selling Wild Tribe Heroes series, tackling the issues of pollution and environmental damage.  The Wild Tribe Heroes books are a collection of gentle and engaging true stories about animals that find themselves in trouble when their lives are affected by plastic in the oceans or palm oil deforestation. 

This engaging tale highlights the global problem of plastic rubbish and balloon releases to children and encourages them to think about the relationship between humans and wildlife.  Helping children understand the importance of looking after our environment, and how they can help all in a fun and friendly way, with ideas and activities which reinforce the story's message that this is a planet for all.

Based on a true story, the little puffin who inspired the story of Marli was discovered in 2017 by a Whitby Whale Watching boat. The boat operators saw a commotion in the water and found a small puffin swimming around in circles with metres of ribbon tangled around her attached to three half deflated balloons. 

Stunning artwork captures the imagination of young readers and brings to life a very real threat to our world.  Children and adults alike will love these books and feel inspired to make positive changes to their own lives and their communities.
