I read 20,000 MILES UNDER THE SEA in the first grade of elementary school and I was completely fascinated by all the wild animals depicted in the novel, and enthralled by the fact that there is a world we know nothing about, yet it is the largest and one of the most important ecosystems on Earth. I went to the bookstore and looked for pictures of the creature in encyclopedias. Now we have thousands and thousands of pictures all around us, so I want kids to go and look for all the amazing creatures that live under the sea - I want to spark that same fascination in kids, so they can explore those amazing creatures, not just looking for pictures online, but actually explore while at sea. The seas and oceans are in danger today, but there is only one concrete symbol that raises awareness about this in the whole play - a heart made of used plastic tape that speaks of the ocean now having a heart made of plastic.
