Until recently many people argued over whether or not global warming was happening, and if it was, what was the cause of it. Now most scientist agree that it really is happening and that a lot of the changes they have recorded have happened because of us - humans.​

Climate change is real and affecting us in many ways that we can see and feel - heat waves, droughts, flooding, storms, decrease in crop yields, rising sea levels, to list a few... why are these things happening, and what can we do about it?​

This book was written with the intention to help the reader learn and understand the serious environmental issues we are facing such as global warming. The reader will also learn about plastic pollution and how it adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat and humans.

Some Reviews:

A ‘must’ for all our younger generation who are our future plantary caretakers, this book is an appealing read for both children and caring adults.

J.E. Schafer, Journalist & Environmental Correspondent - South Africa

As an Educator of 37 years, I can positively say that this book comes highly recommended. Children at a young age can learn about the Three R’s and taking care of the environment.

S. Gopalan, Educator - South Africa

As it's never too early to understand and act, our pupils, from CP to CM2, (ages 6 to 11) enjoyed sharing and enriching their experiences by discovering this story.

Caroline, schoolteacher, Eco-Ecole referent at Les Raguidelles in Suresnes, France

The book is helping teach children about pollution, global warming and the 3 R's. The book was a nice story, but made me sad to learn about how we are harming Mother Earth. Now I know, how to save sea animals and help mother earth get better. I'm going to stop using so much plastic items. I'm going to tell my friends about the 3 R's. –

Shivika Haridas (Grade 2, 7 years old)

Beautiful written book that explains to children the impact we have on our environment. As a mother I loved that the book made learning fun and was easily understood by my children. This book left my children eager to start the 3 R's.

Little Rosy Lost Her Way

This is a beautiful story about a little girl called Rosy. Because she did not follow her Mummy‛s instructions, she was stranded at a train station for a few hours.

She was very sad and frightened! Luckily, she met a little elephant called Ganesh who was travelling to a zoo. Ganesh looked after and comforted the little girl, and they became very good friends.

This is a story with an important lesson for all children – a story that is also heart-warming and comforting.
