Written by Jan Thornhill. Published by Maple Tree Press Inc., 2007. Description: |
As world leaders and others face up to what needs to be done to ensure the future of our planet, Jan Thornhill gives a young audience the tools to understand the crisis and take action in their own lives. Her intelligent, sensitive text guides readers through a sometimes difficult but highly relevant terrain. While not shying away from the facts, This Is My Planet offers hope, showing where action can make a difference and evidence of the amazing resilience and adaptability of Earth. Beginning with a foundation that answers basic questions about how our planet works, and moving through an in-depth look at three specific environments— polar, ocean, and land—and at our human societies, Thornhill takes a comprehensive look at the subject of global warming. In a conversational tone, This Is My Planet explores fascinating aspects of how our world works and how we can preserve it. Never preaching or alarmist, this amazing book arms young readers with the facts to form their own intelligent opinions. This is My Planet’s lively design is dynamic and bright, featuring a multitude of photos. Catchy headers engage readers on every page. Unlike anything else on the market for young readers, this brilliant treatment of global warming fills a void, and couldn’t be timed any better to hit the shelves as this important issue takes centre stage at a global level. “In terms of people, [Jan Thornhill’s] encouraging. Although, as she points out, people are high energy consumers…it is our ingenuity, knowledge and careful stewardship of the Earth that provides ground for optimism as we battle the adverse effects of global warming.” – The Globe and MailIntended for ages 9-13. |
