Summary

A detailed look into the history of global warming and climate change through curated stories and engaging art.

With every rise in temperature, there is a domino effect, and only knowledge can propel us forward. This book does not seek to tell young readers what they need to do, but to tell stories such that they will take on this knowledge as their own, and their own impetus to make change.

What was the Little Ice Age?
How does the butterfly effect work?
Who is responsible for the carbon footprint?
When are greenhouse gases dangerous?

The Change Makers series of books will build in children a strong sense of inquiry — to arm them with knowledge in S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) to tackle this brave new world of unknowns.
