About the Book
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.
​
As a solution to help alleviate these global environmental issues,
the reader will learn about and how-to -recycle, reduce and reuse.
​
The aim of the book is to help children
become more aware of the current environmental issues we are facing globally.
​
The book was written in a story format rather than a text book style,
to make this difficult topic more simple and easy to understand and follow.
​
It is the first of its kind in Africa, where this complex subject has been explained to children in a simple story, making it an interesting and fun read.
