Included in the Book
Why you should buy this book:
1.
In 2022, there were 421 recorded natural disasters worldwide. Compared to 357 just ten years previous. As our world changes and adapts to a harsher climate and the results of human overpopulation – our animals are suffering the consequences.
2.
During the Black Summer fires, it’s estimated that 5.5 million hectares and 3 billion animals were affected – some species are believed to have even been driven to extinction. And yet there are very few books that discuss these topics in an appropriate way for our youngest readers.
3.
As a teacher, I have created this book to be the perfect balance between educating and entertaining in an age-appropriate way. It’s our responsibility to teach the next generation values that will make the world a better place for all the creatures in it.
4.
From Covid to wars to natural disasters, kids are being affected by our changing planet and need books to help guide them on how to get through these experiences compassionately.
5.
Sharing is something all children struggle to understand. In this book, they will see an example from a relatable character and gain a better understanding of how to let go.
6.
Working with kids for 15+ years, I have read thousands of books to children of all ages. Over this time, I have developed a sense of what they like and what they don’t. With short attention spans, writing a children’s book becomes a delicate balance between providing educational information in an entertaining way that keeps them engaged all while creating a story that many different kids can relate to. When we can relate to something, we automatically place it into our long-term memory making the lesson stick for life.
"This was a fantastic read with my 5 year old daughter. We had some great conversations from it about growing out of things as you get older. She loved searching the pages and googling all the different Australian animals that we found throughout the story. Highly recommend for parents and teachers alike! It's a great conversation starter about important topics."
