"The planet is facing some environmental problems," author and educator Marisa Cook explains, "but there are some easy behaviors we can all practice to help solve those problems." In her new book "The Adventures of Ollie and Ronnie: Litter" (published by Trafford Publishing), Cook informs young readers of relatable ways to help address environmental issues.

"It is a rhyming story in which two little girls learning about common problems in the environment," Cook shares. "It describes the problems in basic language and gives a basic way to help solve the problem." With easy-to-follow language and colorful illustrations by Marisa's sister, Alexis, "The Adventures of Ollie and Ronnie" will excite and educate children on environmental issues.

An excerpt from the book:

"Litter is terrible,
awful and bad!
What can we do?
said the girls feeling sad"

"The easiest way to keep the planet healthy is to start with younger children and ingrain good behaviors in them from the start."
