A brother and sister spend their day playing on the beach by a rock pool. They create their own tiny marine world in a bucket and, with its wildlife, shells, oil and even a tin can, it is a microcosm of the larger world outside.
With a series of stunning watercolours, the multi award-winning Michael Foreman makes clear his underlying concern about pollution within the environment.

- Quentin Blake
An important book
- The School Librarian
No less an impressive statement for being a work of art . . . Foreman's magical blues and yellows and the indefinite lines of his drawing underline the symbolic message . . . A quietly disturbing book this, which I fancy children will help their parents to understand.
- The Junior Bookshelf
Foreman's characteristically spacious composition and subtly graded washes are in close harmony with his theme of the vastness and fragility of the natural world.
- TLS
I can't praise One World enough . . . a wonderful thought provoking book about just how fragile our planet can be.
- The Bookbag
A wonderfully reflective tale.
- EYE
A beautiful environmental mediatation is the essence of Michael Foreman's stunning One World - lovely.
- The School Librarian
Powerful stuff . . . children will be awakened to these (environmental) issues while reading this insightful book.
