Looking to expand your STEM lesson on science, marine life, or conservation? Sid the Fiddler Crab's island paradise was about to change. Rhythmic, rhyming, and beautifully illustrated fun-to-read story, brings an environmental message to beachgoers and boaters to keep the coastal shorelines clean and safe. Includes a challenging bonus of interesting facts about each critter's habitat. - Sid the Fiddler sets a plan into action to save his ocean heaven from plastic pollution. - See how the critters help their tiny sea turtle friends get back to the ocean. - Find out how the twelve critters use their talents when their world turns upside down. - Leaves a message to keep the coastal shorelines free of plastics and trash debris. "Not a care in this island paradise," laughs Sid the Fiddler as he is relaxing and sipping his smoothie while swinging in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Includes a twelve-page bonus game to discover fun facts about each critter's habitat: "I live in the salt marsh pluff mudflats between the high and low tide marks. I have one small claw for eating and one big one that I use like a fiddle. I wave my big claw up and down to attract a mate or fight a little, but if I lose it, I can grow a new one when I molt. What am I?" Perfect for STEM classroom teachers, homeschoolers, and young naturalists who enjoy learning more about ecology, as well as crabs, fish, birds, and other animals that inhabit their beaches and wetlands. Also a great takeaway for beach vacays!

Autorenporträt
Hi, I am Doreen Baumann. I've been a passionate creative all my life and now the author of my first children's book, Sid the Fiddler and the Coastal Critters. I hope it will bring awareness of how we humans affect the delicate and vital ecosystems that many take for granted. The concept for this book began as a kids' tour for my local community that would not only be fun and entertaining but educational. Everything changed in 2020. With experience as a volunteer docent and Marsh Tacky caretaker at the Smithsonian Affiliate's Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and, after reading about the tons of trash left on the beaches during the summer, the tour became a book with a conservation message. I grew up in Bayville, a beach town known for its oysters and clams on the north coast of Long Island, New York. I enjoyed boating, waterskiing, and eventually sailing on the sound. My father was an educator, my mother a librarian. After graduating from Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, I began a career in managing school textbook production at two leading book publishing companies in New York City. I brought books to print for authors like Charles Schulz and Bill Martin Jr with a staff of art directors. Becoming a mother of three boys and living overseas led to exciting adventures that took many paths through Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Doha, Qatar; Rochester, New York; and Long Valley, New Jersey. Then to the South Carolina Lowcountry and new beginnings. After fifteen years owning a building business and designing specialty millwork with my husband, Stu, and then "retiring" with four horses in La Veta, Colorado, we returned to the beautiful and much warmer South Carolina Lowcountry. I have come full circle to re-enter the publishing field by establishing my own publishing company, MsBlueHeron Productions, LLC, and becoming an author. An exciting venture!
