Avec humour et une touche de poésie, cet album met en scène un marin nommé Lalo et Rosa, un poisson rouge, confrontés à la pollution causée par les bouteilles d'eau en plastique. Lalo veut trouver un endroit convenable et propre pour son ami poisson, mais partout où ils vont, tout est envahi par des bouteilles d'eau en plastique.

“Pairing understated text with satiric line drawings, (SOS Water) highlights the serious ecological and societal harm caused by single-use containers . . . (and) is a crystal-clear clarion call to action.”

– Quill & Quire, starred review

“Dedicated to Mother Earth, SOS Water is a gentle journey from bottle to tap, where water becomes a source of environmental inspiration for making small, consistent, impactful changes for the good of all.”

– Montreal Review of Books (MRB)

SOS Water is an imaginative, inventive and provocative picture book that not only tells an engaging story with simple but thoughtfully poetic text and playfully humorous illustrations, but also addresses the climate crisis in a way that’s accessible to children of all ages.”

– The Globe and Mail

“With a light touch in both text and illustrations, Yayo, deals with a most serious subject – the water pollution being caused by discarded single-use plastic water bottles . . . Its environmental message (will) resonate with youngsters. Highly Recommended.”

– CM: Canadian Review of Materials

"Yayo blends attractive visuals, a sense of whimsy, and sound lessons on environmentalism . . . (creating) a fanciful tale with practical guidance for protecting our planet."
