Fairy Tales from the Baltic Depth
by Agata Poltorak
Description
A richly illustrated book about the fauna of the Baltic Sea for preschool and early school children. The fairy tales - although full of anthropomorphization and imaginary elements - smuggle many facts about the history, threats and ecology of the Baltic Sea. They have great educational potential and fill the gap in books for children related to the Baltic Sea.
The author takes the children on a journey into the depths of the Baltic Sea. They will find out how it was created, meet many of its inhabitants and overhear what they are talking about when nobody is watching. They will also learn that many human behaviors affect the life of the sea, which should be remembered, for example, when relaxing on the seaside beaches.
The story is presented in a friendly form of short fairy tales, in which the author skillfully weave information about the species of creatures inhabiting the Baltic Sea - their appearance, biology and habits, as well as how we can make their life near people easier and safer. The fairy tales are complemented by a small atlas at the end, with the help of which we will get to know our heroes even better.
As the author writes: (...) “The book Fairy Tales from the Baltic Depth is the result of my passion for nature, cultivated since childhood, as well as the need to make up and tell fairy tales. I gained my love and respect for nature from my family home where I discovered the names of species, watched, admired and tried to understand. It didn't get over it with my age, nature still delights me, amazes me and makes me discover its secrets. The deep ecology trend with the theory of biocentrism is a great inspiration for me, I like to look at the world from the perspective where we - humans are not the most important, but just as important as other creatures.
