Scotty is a little Scotty dog who was blown onto the Isle of Mull, deep in the heart of a storm. But when a fisherman gives him an old collar with ancient writing on it, Scotty is whirled off on a series of extraordinary journeys with his best friend Owl. Crotchety old Owl loves trees - his home being one - and the collar whisks them away to India to see the Banyan, to Brazil to see the last tree left standing, and to East Africa, where new seedlings are sprouting gently into fresh forests. Climate change can sometimes be a little frightening, and Scotty's story is a tale about the small changes we can all make to protect the planet. Will Scotty and Owl get home safely from their journeys around the world? Will Owl manage not to lose all his feathers flapping after the little Scotty, with his nose for adventure? Will they both learn something extraordinary about trees, home, and how to protect it by planting just one seed? Hold tight... Multi-million selling author Conn Iggulden teams up again with fantastic illustrator Lizzy Duncan on this environmental adventure. The story of Scotty was initially produced by the Scotia Group for distribution to all delegates in attendance at the UN's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. Conn and Lizzy are thrilled to be working with Little Door Books to expand Scotty into a series that continues to tell the story about how nobody is too small to make a difference, and no difference is too small to make when it comes to saving our planet. Excellent for schools and families wanting to find out more about our world and how to help protect it. Publishing on World Earth Day 2023

Little Rosalind was born in London to a Jewish family who valued education and public service, and as she grew up her huge intellectual abilities were drawn into the study of science.
