One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia is a nonfiction picture book by Miranda Paul, illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon. It tells the true story of Gambian activist Isatou Ceesay and the women who helped transform plastic waste in their village into a source of income and environmental repair. The book is written for young readers, but it addresses serious issues: pollution, public health, local economies, gender roles, and community problem-solving. Its central subject is not recycling as an abstract idea, but recycling as a practical response to a specific local crisis caused by discarded plastic bags. Through sparse text and mixed-media collage illustrations, the book shows how one person’s initiative can grow into collective action. It also introduces readers to The Gambia and to a model of upcycling that combines environmental stewardship with social change.
