One Plastic Bag

Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia

A rainbow of colors and an array of textures—crinkled plastic, knitted fabric, photos of leaves cut into the shape of trees—patchwork together to compose this amazing story of Isatou Ceesay and her project of crocheting recycled purses from plastic bags littering the Gambia. The story is both absorbing and inspiring, telling a captivating story as it educates and shows that one person can make a world of difference, even one plastic bag at a time. Ages six and up.
