About the Author and Illustrator: Alli Brydon is a children's book author and lifelong New Yorker who recently moved to the south of England with her family. Alli is also a freelance children's book editor, with nearly 15 years of experience nurturing authors and illustrators to improve their craft and create outstanding children's books.
Gerald Kelley (aka EG Keller) is the illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Presents A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo. As Gerald Kelley, he wrote and illustrated the picture book, Please Please the Bees, which won the 2017 Frances and Wesley Bock Book Award for Children's Literature. Keller lives in Colorado with his husband.
About the Book: Walt is a proud lobstah whose greatest dream is winning the annual Swell Gahdens contest. But year after year that honor always goes to his chowdah-head neighbor Milton. One day, when heaps of gahbage show up in their yahds, the rival lobstahs must join forces to save their beloved gahdens from the trash floating down from above.
Our oceans are beautiful, colorful, diverse ecosystems that are home to over a million species of underwater creatures. Unfortunately, humans are putting our friends under the sea at risk by polluting Earth's oceans daily. Lobstah Gahden will help kids understand the importance of conservation, and additional backmatter about sea life and pollution will give readers practical ways they can help preserve our oceans.
