Climate Action
"On behalf of all the children, staff and governors from across our Trust’s 17 schools, we would like to say a very special thank you for your kind gift of 17 of your beautiful Climate Action books. The joy and learning that our children will gain from your book will enable them to help them to shape the future towards a better world. We would also like to say thank you for the Q&A session that you participated in with our Year 3 children from St. George’s School in York. The impact of bringing you (virtually) into our classrooms, exciting and engaging our children by answering their questions, has been enormous. The information you shared, together with your warmth and encouragement will help to give our children the confidence they need to become active climate champions, caring for the environment in their homes, schools and their local communities.”
I have poured everything I have learnt from 20 years of working on sustainability and regeneration, into this non-fiction book for 8-12 year olds about climate change. I have included the facts, lots of innovative ideas about what we can all do about them, and some of the amazing things young changemakers around the globe are doing. My aim with this book is to inspire and excite young readers about what their future can look like, and their part in that. One tree will be planted for every book sold in the UK and I am using all of my profits from the book to share the book with as many schools as possible by working with Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots, Kids against Plastic, Climate Impact Project, Ecoschools, WWF and many other amazing climate education charities. (I will also share links to the right pages on their sites in due course)
