Book 2 in The Little Optimist Series:
A sea monster is in the lagoon. But how can that be? The Little Optimist and friends go in search of this monster and find a very different type of PLASTIC sea monster, caused by humans. So the Little Optimist sets off around the world to get the children to help him protect mother earth. It's an optimistic adventure with fun learnings and lots of heart.
In April 2016, Greg Bertish sailed a children's Optimist dinghy around the Cape of Storms. He crossed False Bay, rounded Cape Point and headed for the beautiful Langebaan lagoon on the wild West Coast.
His 200-kilometre journey matched the 200 days he had spent in hospital fighting life-threatening heart infections.
He raised ZAR 300 000 towards the new ICU at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital, and later went on to raise a further 1 million ZAR to paint and renovate the hospital.
Greg hopes this journey of a REAL Little Optimist and book about a little believer with a HUGE heart will help to teach kids that being small, sick, poor or different is OK. They too can go on to survive and thrive. This story will inspire kids to believe in themselves, get better, be better and follow their passions and dreams.

About the Author
CHIP SNADDON was born in Estcourt (KZN) in 1964 and went to Hilton College where he matriculated in 1982. But it would be in Cape Town where he'd cut his teeth as an editorial cartoonist with the UDF paper 'South' in the late 1980's.A highly talented artist, Chip divides his drawing time between cartooning and illustrating books and storyboards for the advertising industry. His creative employment of perspective and his trademark parallel lined hatching are legendary.In 1998 he joined 'The Argus' as their resident cartoonist and - save a year's break during 2005/6 - has been with them ever since. Chip lives in the house he built in Kommetjie, Cape Town, is an avid surfer, and dreams of living a sustainable lifestyle off the grid.
