Thirty-three brilliant artists from all over the world have contributed to help bring this moving story to vivid life for all ages, 7 and up.

With so many of us making, buying, selling and throwing away so much stuff, mountains of rubbish and rivers of pollution are finding their way into the oceans. Some pollution makes the ocean more acidic, threatening the survival of sea life, including precious corals. Many plants and animals are becoming extinct. That means they are gone – forever.

LOOK INSIDE

Atchoo!

What happens up the nose and on the tongue?

1 The nose is mostly made from bendy cartilage, not from hard bone.

Blame a bunged-up nose! The nose and tongue work like a double-act to pick up smells and tastes. If the nose can't smell, it's difficult to taste.

2 Two openings, called nostrils, open into the space inside the nose, which connects with the back of the mouth and tongue.

The nose and tongue are gatekeepers. They send signals to help the brain decide what it's safe to let into the body. They also pick up warnings of danger, such as the smell of burning and smoke.

nerve to brain

The smell of cooking can make you hungry. Your brain sends messages to your digestive system to say, 'Get ready, food is on the way!'.

5 Hairs inside the nose stop dust from getting into the body. Mucus, or snot, keeps the inside wet and helps it to smell. It also catches dirt and germs. Sneezing blows the mucus, dirt and germs out of the nose.

The nose

Tasting food 6 The tongue helps to taste food. It also works with the teeth to mush up food so it's ready to swallow. This is the start of the journey of digesting food.

7 Taste buds are the many small bumps on the tongue.

olfactory bulb smell detectors nose

nostril taste buds tongue

How are the nose and tongue connected? This picture shows what the inside of the nose and tongue look like from a side view.

8 When food mixes with saliva, the taste buds send signals to the brain about the taste of the food.

Mmm! When you smell food, your mouth makes watery saliva to help the food go down.

How many taste buds are on a tongue? A child has up to 10,000 taste buds, while an adult has only 6,000. Here are the five different tastes that taste buds recognise.

3 Breathe in and millions of smell detectors inside the nose pick up smells that stick to small finger-like endings.

4 The smell detectors send signals to the olfactory bulb which sends signals to the brain to help work out each smell.

Bitter

Salty

Sour

Sweet

Umami

A bitter taste can warn the body that it's about to eat bad or poisonous food.

Salty food can help the body work properly, but too much salt is bad for body health.

Lemons taste sour. Scientists think humans are the only animals to enjoy sour food.

Sugary food tastes sweet and can give the body quick energy.

This is a super-charged savoury taste, such as soy sauce.
