Just One Child:
Starting a Plastic-Free and Litter-Free Journey
Just One Child: Starting a Plastic-Free and Litter-Free Journey is a powerful and practical children’s book that highlights the role every child can play in protecting the planet. Through vibrant illustrations and simple language, Debbie Bartlett takes readers on a journey that begins with a single action—picking up one piece of litter—and leads to real change in a community.
The story follows a decision to make a difference after learning about plastic pollution and its effects on wildlife. Inspired by kindness and curiosity, the story influences friends, family, and even adults to think differently about waste. By the end of the book, readers see how one small action can grow into a movement for good.
Just One Child blends education with inspiration. It’s perfect for classroom use, home learning, or environmental awareness days. It provides discussion points, practical tips, and encourages families to take part in litter-picking and reducing plastic use together.
This book empowers children to understand that their voice and actions have value. It’s not about being perfect it’s about starting with just one child. Because change starts with you, and your journey could be the spark the planet needs.
