What's happening to our planet and how can you help?

The world's climate is changing as a direct result of human activity.
This book looks at what climate change is, the ways in which it is affecting our planet and suggests projects and ideas to encourage everyone to do what they can to be greener, limit their own carbon footprints, and make a difference.



Excerpt: Our homes, cars and factories pump out about 40 billion tons of CO2 every year. This gas then wraps around our planet and the Sun’s hear in but not out just like a greenhouse. Methane is also a greenhouse gas, but its greenhouse effect is a staggering 25 times more powerful than CO2. Methane is release when waste landfills rots and when cows burp grassy gas. These greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere, so every year the “blanket” gets thicker and thicker, and Earth gets hotter and hotter.


Includes ideas for activities readers can do such as crafting, plus simple experiments to monitor rainfall or to understand the science behind events such as melting ice.

A little yellow sub is heading beneath the waves . . .What strange things will the submarine see as it dives deeper and deeper?

Folding out to nearly 8 feet, children can look at all the different things the submarine sees on its way, as it travels past a pod of whales, across a coral reef and spooky shipwreck, and close to an underwater volcano and strange, deep-sea creatures. Playful text guides the journey, providing a fun shared experience and a conversation starter for parents and young children.

The reverse side of the concertina features spot illustrations picked out from the main scene. When you turn over the concertina there is more expansive information about all sorts of submersibles and amazing underwater life.

From the book:

All Sorts of Submarine

Submarines and submersibles come in all shapes and sizes. Huge, nuclear-powered naval submarines patrol the oceans, while small submersibles are used to explore shipwrecks and the secrets of the ocean floor. Some are designed simply for fun—after all, wouldn’t you love to take a ride underwater?

Ocean Zones

As you travel down from the ocean’s surface, less sunlight can get through the water, and it is colder. The various depths of the ocean are called “zones.” Different animals have adapted to live in each zone.

Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture book follows the story of a flock of colorful macaws as they live their lives in the Amazon rainforest. 
Through the voice of one of the macaws, we hear about the bounty of the rainforest, as well as the challenges they have faced – threatened by the destruction of their home through machinery and forest fires to make room for vast plantations. Still, there are some areas where the land is protected and they can live a life of freedom among the trees... perhaps in the future, humans will learn the true value of the forest once again? 
Accompanying non-fiction pages at the end of the book include information on on endangered macaws, the importance of the rainforest, and the causes of deforestation, as well as what we can do to help.
