About the Book

Never has there been a more perfect time to empower children to take the lead and educate their grown-ups about climate change. Featuring a foreword by internationally renowned climate scientist Dr Michael E. Mann and bursting with fabulous original illustrations, this delightfully witty book deals with the pressing topic of our changing planet in an uplifting, positive manner. Interwoven amongst the more serious questions – why is Earth so special in the first place? How do we know about climate change? What causes it? How can we recognise false information? – are fun-filled facts about cow burps, woolly mammoths, panda-shaped solar panels, and much more. Crucially, this book also equips children and adults alike with the practical tools they need to tackle climate change in their everyday lives. And there’s a handy quiz at the end so that you can check your grown-up has been paying attention!

Review :
Selected as one of the best children’s books coming out in Spring 2024 Selected as Children's Non-Fiction Book of the Month (March 2024) "Designed to be read alone or with the grown-up, it is an excellent introduction to the concept of climate change to captivate the thoughts of both children and adults alike. A copy of this in every school library would also be beneficial, who knows, it could inspire the next Greta Thunberg?"
