About the Authors
We are second graders from Ocean City, Maryland. We go to Showell Elementary School! We started the 2020-2021 year off by Zooming with professional surfer, Kelly Slater. He inspired us to clean the beach. So, we adopted a beach in Ocean City, and it was our job as a class to keep it clean. We couldn’t believe all the trash we found and how it was affecting our environment. Now we hope that everyone else will be inspired to clean the beach with us!

In this simple and creative book, created by a passionate class of second graders and in collaboration with professional surfer Kelly Slater, we emphasize the importance of taking care of the beaches and oceans we live near.
When it comes to our beaches, many people believe that they alone won't make a difference to the environment, that they can leave one piece of trash on the beach, and it wouldn't change anything in the big picture. But have you ever wondered what would happen if everybody left their "one piece" of trash on the beach? What would happen to the environment and the sea life? What would our world become? On the other hand, what would happen if everybody cleaned the beaches and used reusable products instead?
Ms. Keyser and her second grade class have lived their entire lives alongside beaches and oceans, and their passion for taking care of the environment they love has spurred the creation of this book. Influenced and motivated by role model Kelly Slater, they have all contributed to doing their part to help raise awareness and action with keeping their beaches clean.
In this book, you will see how every choice you make on the beach affects it, and how we can all do our part to help keep it clean.
