This is a new unique, and gorgeously illustrated book that is a perfect
present for anyone. When the iceberg that Pip the polar bear lives on
begins to melt, separating her from her family, she is forced to begin
the biggest adventure of her young life! This moving story introduces
children to the issues around climate change and shows that with
courage, hope, and a few friends by our side, we can all tackle the
threats to our global environment.
The world's tropical forests are shrinking at a staggering rate, the
equivalent of 30 football pitches per minute. Average wildlife
populations have dropped by 60 per cent in just over 40 years.
Antarctica losing six times more ice mass annually now than 40 years
ago. The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. This
is having a devastating impact on the wildlife. Polar bears are starving
and scientists believe that shrinking sea ice caused by climate change
is to blame.
A Melting Planet is an important first step to teaching children about
the impact of global warming. The book highlights the issue of global
warming and the melting of the ice caps through the heart-warming story
of Pip, a strong, determined and brave young polar bear who suffers from
the effects of climate change, but with the help from some friends finds
hope in her future. This book takes a sensitive and positive approach to
the climate emergency that we are all facing. It will encourage children
to think about the impact of climate change on the world around them and
what they might be able to do to help.
