A Delightful Journey in Eco-Awareness

Gianna Middleton, a long-time resident of Bahrain and a green energy professional, has brought her passion for sustainability and eco-education to life in her new children’s book The Grubbies: Little Grubbie Saves The Sea. This vibrant and engaging tale is the first instalment of her series, The Grubbies Save The Planet, which aims to empower young readers to take small but impactful steps toward a cleaner and greener world.

In Little Grubbie Saves The Sea, readers meet the Grubbies family – Mummy Grubbie, Daddy Grubbie, Grandpa Grubbie and the young Little Grubbie. Together, this family of eco-heroes tackles the pressing issue of pollution threatening their seaside town. Through teamwork, clever thinking and a bit of help from Mr. Sun, the Grubbies teach their fellow townspeople about the importance of protecting the environment. This delightful adventure highlights that even the smallest creatures, with a bit of heart and creativity, can make a meaningful difference in the world around them.

Designed for young readers aged four and up, Little Grubbie Saves The Sea combines colourful illustrations and accessible language to captivate children’s attention while gently guiding them through key ideas of sustainability. The book’s themes of pollution, recycling and teamwork offer practical lessons that kids can easily understand and emulate in their daily lives. By immersing readers in a story that is both entertaining and educational, Ms. Middleton has created a perfect tool for parents and educators to introduce environmental awareness to young minds.

Ms. Middleton is a keen enthusiast of long walks, cooking yummy healthy food and enjoying a rainy day with a good book, but her true love is for storytelling and teaching. This shines through in this debut book, which she wrote with the goal of nurturing a generation that is both conscious and proactive in preserving the planet. Her professional background in green energy and sustainability informs her writing, ensuring that The Grubbies Save The Planet series is both accurate and impactful.

With plans to continue the Grubbies’ journey in future books, Ms. Middleton is excited to inspire children to be ‘eco-heroes.’ Her engaging approach, blending education with fun, promises to be a valuable resource for fostering environmental responsibility from a young age.
