About this ebook
When a hungry polar bear is pitched into the stormy seas from a tiny piece of melting ice, he embarks on an epic journey of discovery that will change his life forever.
"A fantastically accessible way to help children understand climate change. A FINALIST and highly recommended." - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.
"In essence Captain Polo is the story about us and our future on Earth, presented in a knowledge-based and adventurous way, which can spark much needed conversations and action to save Humanity." - Prof. Johan Rockström, Director, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
At the beginning of his life-changing journey, the bear is hungry, frightened and alone, drifting further and further from an Arctic home that is changing in ways he cannot comprehend. But the bear without a name survives, and as he travels the world, meeting colourful characters both human and non-human and getting into all sorts of adventures, he gradually begins to understand a reality he never knew existed. The bear who will become Captain Polo realises he is not alone in seeking answers.
The Climate Change Comic is a fast-paced graphic novel depicting accurate geographical settings and detailed, colourful illustrations designed to make learning about a complex and frightening subject positive, easy and fun. In this first book of the series, readers as young as 9 will be swept into a global journey of discovery that will help them understand some of the causes and effects of the most critical environmental crisis in human history, what people are doing about it, and how each one of us can make a difference - wherever we live, and whoever we are.
Our children are facing an existential crisis in the form of ecological collapse and global climate change, but they don't have to stay confused and anxious. Instead, give them what they want: understanding and actionable knowledge empowering them to become agents of positive change at home and at school. This is the mission of Captain Polo.
