“We live in a world that’s closely connected, When you do bad things, we’re all affected.” Nanook is a caring polar bear who lives in the Arctic. But when his igloo starts melting, Nanook must find a way to save his friends and his home. He knows that the people who can help are also those who’ve caused the problem and he must find a way to convince leaders to act on the climate crisis! This educational rhyming picture book is aimed at 5-7 year olds. It seeks to explain the climate crisis in a way that younger children can understand. REVIEWS OF NANOOK AND THE MELTING ARCTIC "Bright and lively, with a positive message." - Clare O'Beara, Fresh Fiction “This book has a sweet rhyme scheme that kids will love, paired with cute illustrations that make these big concept ideas about climate change accessible… My favorite part of the book might just be those who Nanook travels to confront. World leaders and big business can have the most profound impact on climate change, and that’s who most needs to be taking it seriously. Seeing Nanook confront big business and world leaders is satisfying, and I love that the onus is on the big businesses and not just everyday people.” – Christine, Paw Prints in the Sink " Nanook and the Melting Arctic will inspire so much discussion. From the portraits of Greta Thunberg and James Hansen on Nanook’s igloo wall to his signs made from plastic pollution to his heart-felt pleas for people to change their ways, children will see just how important it is that we work together to protect the Earth." - Kate Heap, Scope for Imagination "A gentle rhyming story is a perfect way to help us talk to our little ones about the problems that our planet faces. Perfect timing too with the upcoming COP26 conference where the world's leaders take centre stage and hopefully agree on some serious action." - Nicky Hudson, It’s All About Stories "Nanook paints a picture of what global warming & climate change can do to animals’ habitats in an enduring, heartfelt way. Teaching young children about environmental issues is a great way to help in the future. These little ones will be dealing with the same issues if things don’t change. Knowledge can bring change. Children can learn about this important topic while enjoying Nanook, the adorable polar bear. The illustrations are sure to jump out to children with their swirly blend of color. I like picture books that teach a lesson in a kid-friendly way. Nanook certainly does that." - Latisha's Low Key Life "A very sweet and simple book about how human activity is leading to global warming, that is leading to destroying planet earth; about how if we start caring, and make changes, the earth will regenerate. I loved the art work in the book." - Batty and Anjali "This was a beautifully illustrated, it complimented the story perfectly. This book is aimed at young readers between 5-7. This is a story of the devastating effects of climate change on the world, it is done in such a way that it isn't patronising, it shows children what is happening in the world and how things we do can effect what happens in the world... I think this book is a great way to teach kids about climate change, the way the book reads it flows easily throughout, with rhyming to keep the child's mind active on it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with young children." - Sophie, Blogger "It is a wonderful and very thoughtful book which can help your kids understand more about the nature and how to take care of our mother earth. The illustrations are so beautiful and the cover too. I really loved this book and highly recommended." - Aathira's Book Zone
