Poor Little Guy
Picture book by Elanna Allen.
Darling illustrations and sparsely worded story about a cute little blowfish who comes across a hungry octopus.
Activity idea: Visit the aquarium.
Young Woman and the Sea
This movie depicts the true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel and beat the men’s record in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and marvelled at Trudy’s dedication despite those men who were determined to stop her. The movie is funny and heartwarming, but also eye-opening in terms of the way women and sports were viewed in the early 1900’s. Note: it briefly shows the bare buttocks of a man who swims nude or in a thong.
