A drop around the world

''A drop of rain is a drop of life - a drop of eternity. From steam to snow, from polluted to purified, from stratus cloud to subterranean crack, water links the world in a living flow. Barbara Shaw McKinney and illustrator Michael S. Maydak take us on an ''out of sight'' journey from Maine to Mumbai with just one raindrop, as it touches plant, animal and human life all around the world. Travelling with Drop, readers will see the world, inside and out, from solid, liquid, vaporous viewpoints. The everlasting, ever-changing Drop inspires our respect for water and its unique role on Earth. Once you meet Drop, you can journey into the heart of nature every time it rains.'' - From the back of the book

We are all Greta : be inspired to save the world

Follow in the footsteps of the Swedish teenage activist and Nobel Peace Prize candidate in We Are All Greta and join the global mission to save our planet from climate change. Greta Thunberg, author of No One is too Small to Make a Difference, has directed the attention of adults and her peers alike to issues crucial to the future of the planet, and the heads of even the youngest children have been filled with questions. Global Warming, The Greenhouse Effect, Fossil Fuels-what do they all mean? What are biodiversity and sustainable development? Who is studying the changes that are taking place here on Earth? Which sources are reliable? What action can I take? We Are All Greta sets out the basic ideas required to understand climate change, explained in a scientific and accessible way and drawn from the most authoritative sources. With a chapter on key words and sites to help you understand the climate challenge and a list of websites to visit for further information, this is a book for young people, for parents, for grandparents and anyone having to answer direct and urgent questions about what must be done to protect our world.

Sampan

The author grew up in a house with a garden that had many tropical fruit trees. The garden was always alive with birds chirping in the day and crickets screeching at night. Her family even had the occasional abandoned domesticated rabbit that sought shelter among her mother's bushes - a treat no doubt! After a rainy day, there was always a snail or two to find and she loved to dig up earthworms. Nature brought much joy to her childhood.
