Real readers share their experiences with “Freddy Fish and Family” and how this powerful story changed their perspective on ocean conservation and environmental responsibility.

My 8-year-old son has autism and usually struggles to focus on longer stories, but he sat through this entire book without getting up once. He loved the mechanical parts about how Freddy built his vehicle and now he’s constantly building things from recycled materials in our garage. As someone who lives near the ocean, I appreciate how the book explains pollution in a way that doesn’t scare kids but still gets the message across.

Picked this up thinking it was just a kids’ book, but honestly, it taught me things about ocean pollution I hadn’t considered before. The way Dr. Levin connects the scientific aspects with the emotional story really works. I’m actually using some of the concepts from the book in my senior thesis about community-based conservation efforts.

My granddaughter and I read this together during her summer visit. She’s 10 and usually only wants to read books about princesses, so I wasn’t sure she’d like it. But she got so invested in Freddy’s family that she started asking me questions about what we could do to help the ocean. We ended up volunteering at a beach cleanup because of this book.
