A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its
causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll
gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalised communities across the globe. But all is
not lost - there's still time for each and every one of us to make
a difference. Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany
Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to
fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over
profit. The planet is not protected if all its inhabitants are not;
the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls
to action to get you thinking and to grow your knowledge. All you
need is a pen and a piece of paper. With kaleidoscopic and vibrant
illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
we can all build a better world. Other titles in the list include
This Book is Feminist and This Book is Anti-Racist.
Discover the oceans of the world in this delightfully silly sticker
book, illustrated by Mariana Ruiz Johnson. From bright coral reefs
to the deepest oceans, each spread is full of facts and animals,
with plenty of space for you to add your stickers. And you can be
as sensible or as silly as you like - why not make the sharks dance
or dress an octopus as a pirate? With over 300 stickers, this book
will keep young nature lovers busy for hours!
The book, Gertie's Birdies, is both a visual delight and an easy to
read aloud collection of verse to stimulate the minds of young
children and connect them to the natural world. The author slips a
few easy to understand ornithological facts into each page thereby
teaching and entertaining both reader and listener. Donna Salko is
the mother of five children and a curious bunch of grandchildren.
"I had my first granddaughter using binoculars before her fourth
birthday. Her brother could identify more birds than the average
adult before he even started preschool." Donna has had a love
affair with photography since her father put the first Canon SLR in
her young hands. Today, she continues the generational tradition by
teaching young children proficiency with cameras and binoculars.
Trips to birding hotspots are regular events. An avid prize winning
photographer and outdoor enthusiast, her efforts to introduce her
grandchildren to birding fell short due to the lack of educational
and entertaining material available. Searching book stores, gift
shops and information centers, the author found the few field
guides written for children seemed to be geared toward much older
children. The very young children had only coloring and activity
books from which to learn. Donna Salko put together a collection of
stunning bird portraits paring each with a short verse. From the
large size American Eagle, Osprey and Wild Turkey, to the very
small Ruby Throated Hummingbird and American Goldfinch, each of the
portrait and poem pages gives small children a better grasp of the
avian beauty and diversity in their own backyards without
overwhelming them with scientific fact. The author lives in
Northeast Pennsylvania but travels frequently to Florida, New
Mexico, Arizona, Maine and Rhode Island. She can be found
photographing birds and wildlife from her backyard to J.N. Ding
Darling NWR, Bosque del Apache and Montezuma National Wildlife
Refuge, her favorite haunts. She enjoys visiting classrooms to read
aloud and discuss these backyard wonders to very receptive and
enthusiastic primary grade-schoolers.
Join Danny and Dino at the zoo in this pooptastic lift-the-flap story! With rip-roaring rhyme and laugh-out-loud silliness, the Dinosaur that Pooped has sold over 1.5 million copies around the world! Danny, his schoolfriends and Dinosaur too,
were on an exciting school trip to the zoo!
They wanted to see something scaly or hairy
(but Danny hoped none of the creatures were scary). Danny and Dino are enjoying a school trip to the zoo... until a cheeky monkey steals their packed lunch! They chase the monkey past parrots, zebras and rhinos, but soon get stuck in an enclosure with some VERY hungry lions! Can Dino's quick thinking and rumbly tummy save the day? This hilarious addition to the lift-the-flap series features a host of hidden surprises. The poop-filled adventure is written by bestselling author duo Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, and brought to life by the proposterously talented Garry Parsons.

the year, showing how the changing of the seasons takes place
around the world, promoting an international sense of the weather,

'This beautiful book is one to treasure forever' David Walliams,
comedian and children's author WINNER of The Margaret Mallett Award
for Children's Non-Fiction 2022 Have you ever wondered what it
would be like to fly? Or to live high in the tree tops? Or perhaps
you've wondered what birds do when no one is looking? Birds have
some of the most extraordinary - and peculiar - behaviours on the
planet. Ravens love PLAYING games. In winter, they sledge down
snow-covered rooftops on their bellies, getting faster and faster.
Partridges are SNEAKY and know just how to trick hungry foxes. And
honeyguides are HELPFUL. They help humans to find the sweetest
treat in the forest - honey. These are just some of the incredible
stories you'll read in this book. With fascinating factual detail
and playful storytelling from ornithologist Tim Birkhead and
vibrant, personality-filled illustrations from Cat Rayner, this
book captures what it's really like to be a bird.
Billy Loves Birds tells the fact-filled story of a day in the life
of Billy, a budding young naturalist who is wild about birds of all
kinds! Billy encounters many different kinds of birds in his
adventures during his day at Forest School, and this book is filled
with facts about all the different species he comes across, and
some that he can only dream of seeing in the wild one day. He
studies a blue tits' nest with chicks about to fledge, spies a
kingfisher catching a worm, and shows his friend how to peck like a
woodpecker! Follow Billy as he shares his love of birds - discover
how to trumpet like a crane or laugh like a kookaburra and learn
what makes feathers fabulous or beaks extraordinary. With an
engaging and lively narrative from Jess French and fun, warm
illustrations from Duncan Beedie this book will help ignite a love
and appreciation for nature, right on our doorsteps. The Nature
Heroes series focuses on a group of friends who are passionate
about nature and the great outdoors. Each book features a different
child who has a favourite topic that they are fascinated by: Billy
Loves Birds, Bella Loves Bugs, Ava Loves Animals, and Pedro Loves
the Planet! Playful text and funny relatable illustrations make
this an accessible series, which provides an entertaining
introduction to the natural world.
