Mary Anning, the mother of paleontology and daring fossil hunter.
When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help

After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary
learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made
the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur.
Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men,

poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help.

stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back,
including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a

This inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize
nominee Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager who has led a global
movement to raise awareness about the world's climate crisis -
using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young
children. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest
threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest,

trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and
the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest
left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the
forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea... A section at the
back explains that, in reality, the fight against the 'giants'
isn't over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight. This
book has been printed sustainably in the UK on 100% recycled paper.
