Each page is filled with illustrations that vividly bring to life the natural world, from lush green forests to deep blue oceans. The stories and images create a powerful and inspiring message about the beauty and fragility of our planet. Young readers are encouraged to think deeply about their own impact on the environment and are asked to consider important questions about how they can make a difference.

Sections include:

• Our Lifestyle: We must give back to nature, which provides us with food, water, air, and sunshine, and remember that we share this planet with other living beings.

• Connections: Our well-being depends on fulfilling essential needs like clean air, water, nutrients, and socializing.

• Modern Life: A girl named Jane’s unhealthy lifestyle caused exhaustion by overconsuming, being inactive, and using her phone excessively, leading to less enjoyment of life.

• A Call for Help: Jane’s exhaustion underscores the importance of us meeting our basic needs, and it also mirrors our need to care for the planet.

• Land Conservation: Sir David Attenborough expresses his concern for the Earth due to human activities that harm the environment, but he also holds hope for a better future.

• Ecological Footprints: The Earth and we people have limits, and ecological footprints help us measure how our actions impact the planet, reminding us to use natural resources wisely.

• Rainforests: Rainforests, like the Amazon, absorb and store carbon dioxide, acting as "the lungs of the planet" and purifying the air for humans.

• Biodiversity: Rainforests exhibit high biodiversity, but human activities like farming and economic development are continually leading to their loss.

• Deforestation: Deforestation and human activities harm rainforests, reducing biodiversity, valuable species, and the forest’s carbon processing ability, exacerbating global warming.

• Farming: We often overlook the impact of our actions on nature, using more and more land for food production.

• Our Species: Human actions are harming the planet by depleting resources and causing pollution. We must remedy this.

• The Miracle of the Ocean: The ocean regulates temperature, absorbs CO₂, and its plant life absorbs more greenhouse gases than land forests.

• The Coral Reef: The ocean absorbs CO₂ and is crucial for life, but its acidity is harming underwater life. Coral reefs are being destroyed by global warming and overfishing.

• Commercial Fishing: Fishing harms ocean life, and fish farming can be harmful.

• The Ocean: Sustainable fishing means only catching what we need to eat, giving the ocean time to recover, and not relying too much on fishing.

• The Earth Has a Fever: Human progress has harmful consequences: greenhouse gases warm the planet, leading to devastating outcomes.

• Ecological Extinction: The Earth’s getting hotter causes air pollution, water contamination, and wildfires that damage nature irreparably.

• Balance: Balance and stability in the ecosystem are crucial for our well-being, and it’s up to us to take care of our bodies and maintain a healthy environment.

• Balance Restored: Jane found balance in nature, friendships, healthy food, and rest, which brought joy and transformed sadness.

• What Can We Do For You, Earth?: Sustaining biodiversity in rainforests and oceans, reducing waste, meat consumption, and embracing reusable products can support the environment.

Featuring quirky, vintage-inspired illustrations, this charming story tells the tale of a cat moving to a new island home, where things take an unexpected turn.

When a curious cat named Tibbles and her owner move across the world from England to a new home on a small island off the coast of New Zealand in 1894, everything seems idyllic at first. Then things go horribly wrong. In this charming little story, the oblivious, amusing hero, Tibbles, discovers a rare species of flightless bird that had never previously been described – the Stephens Island wren. Unfortunately, Tibbles also becomes the cause of the bird’s extinction by preying on them.

Beneath the surface of this whimsically told story is a sophisticated tragicomic plot with a foundation in Greek tragedy. Tibbles’s killing of the Stephens Island wrens led to the eventual extinction of the entire species, and the tragedy is heightened by the fact that Tibbles was not a malicious or malevolent creature, but rather a normal cat behaving according to its instincts. To add insult to injury, Tibbles is not only innocent and ignorant about the effects of her actions; she is also silly, care-free, and wildly unconcerned. This book presents a true story in a subtly comedic light, but the underlying tragedy is still present, emphasizing the unintended consequences of human actions on the environment.

Ultimately, the tale of Tibbles the cat had a silver lining – it brought global awareness to the dangers of introducing non-native animal species to other continents. Beautifully illustrated in a vintage style, with heavy graphic novel elements, this quirky, captivating tale will take readers on an emotional, darkly funny journey of discovery and consequence, all while teaching valuable lessons about the environment and the human impact on it. The book also includes interesting facts about the Stephens Island wren and its discovery.

Tibbles is perfect for children aged 6–9 inclined towards funny stories and deep lessons. Through this unique, engaging, and darkly comedic story, kids will be entertained as they learn about history and conservation, with humor being the sugar that helps the environmentalist medicine go down. Laughing one moment and considering serious issues the next, children will learn about the impact of humans on animal species and the importance of protecting wildlife.
