Combining history with science, this book charts the changes in our Earth’s climate, from the beginnings of the planet and its atmosphere, to the Industrial revolution and the dawn of machinery. You'll learn all about the causes of climate change, such as factory farming and pollution, and the effects that climate change has on humans and animals across the world.
As well as discovering the effects of global warming, you'll discover practical ways we can work together to solve it, from using renewable energy to swapping meat for vegetables in our diet.

A great story for anyone that makes climate change easy to understand. It's aimed at older children but even as an adult I learnt a lot from this book!
Along with illustrations that are colourful, this really is a great book.
Cathy P, Librarian
A very accessible introduction to climate change for younger children. It's comprehensive in it's coverage, looking at how the earths climate has changed over billions of years naturally until our modern era where it's being increasingly altered by human actions. It looks at all the different issues and possible means of helping change things and the illustrations help make this an attractive book. Definitely one we will be stocking in our libraries.
Snezana I, Reviewer
Brilliant and colourful, the illustrations in this story are educational on their own and speak for themselves. The illustrations of animals together with the little speech bubbles are what sprinkle in a bit of personality throughout the story.
Learn about the development of flora and fauna and the Earth itself over billions and billions of years. Get insight into what scientists are doing today to track climate change and what they suggest to improve the current state.
We are all impacted, and this book provides concrete examples accompanied by clean illustrations to easily understand the urgency of the situation.
Finally, we are given some examples of creative solutions and what we can do to help. The future generations write the next chapters, and this book can help those chapters be wonderful.
In the end, there's a glossary of useful words! This entire book is important and absolutely necessary!
