“A nuanced portrayal of fire as a force to be
respected.”—Publishers Weekly Life as we know it evolved with
fire; there is no us without it. With lyrical text grounded
in the latest research, this picture book shares the primal
connection between all living things and fire. Children will
understand that everything they know in the world has evolved with
fire. There is comfort in understanding the natural processes
taking place all around. By learning the story of fire and
how it has changed this planet, this book also addresses the
question: Can we adapt to an increasingly fire-prone environment?
This answer is: Yes. Because we always have. FIRE SHAPES THE
WORLD is both a natural history and a child-friendly portrayal of
fire ecology. It is also an encouraging springboard for
conversation illuminated by breathtaking paintings, which will
allow children to explore their connection to this most elemental
agent of change.
Gripping narrative non-fiction with STEM and social justice themes
that proves cities can be surprisingly wild places-and why
understanding urban nature matters. What can city bees tell us
about climate change? How are we changing coyote behavior? And what
the heck is a science bike? Featuring the work of a diverse group
of eleven scientists-herself included!-Dr. Cylita Guy shows how
studying urban wildlife can help us make cities around the world
healthier for all of their inhabitants. In the process, Guy reveals
how social injustices like racism can affect not only how
scientists study city wildlife, but also where urban critters are
likelier to thrive. Sidebars include intriguing animal facts and
the often-wacky tools used by urban ecologists, from a ratmobile to
a bug vacuum. Cornelia Li's engaging illustrations bring the
scientists' fieldwork adventures to life, while urban ecology
challenges encourage readers to look for signs of wildlife in their
own neighborhoods.
