Follow two s as they patrol the sandy shore, helping to keep our beaches clean and their animal friends safe. Through teamwork and compassion, Hero and Haul teach young readers the importance of caring for the environment while creating lasting memories with their family. Hi, I'm Renee. I'm a stay-at-home mom and author living at the Jersey Shore with my husband and two sons. This book was inspired by taking my oldest to a beach cleanup in our town, run by a local organization called Salt Water Warriors. His love for protecting our sea creatures drew me to this project. I'm hoping this book sparks meaningful conversations between you and your children or students about the importance of keeping our sea and sand clean.
