Discover the true story of climate change: from farting cows to roaring cars, and everything in-between. Finally, a bookto explain everything you need to know about climate change--and then some. Palm Trees at the North Pole is about exploding volcanoes and brave inventors. About arguing scientists and young activists. About cute little pikas and devastating hurricanes. About mammoths and icebergs, dykes and windmills--and most importantly, about science and facts. Clear, accessible, funny--and accompanied by detailed illustrations that bring the story to life--Palm Trees at the North Pole encourages young climate activists to engage even more deeply with their chosen cause, while also serving as a perfect primer for those new to the issue.

"Discover the extraordinary world of viruses, from their creation and transmission to vaccination. If we didn't know it before, we certainly know it now: viruses can be powerful--so powerful, in fact, that they can hold the world in their grip for months at a time. But what exactly is a virus? Where do they come from and what do they do to our bodies? How do they spread, and what can we do to protect ourselves? Author Marc ter Horst tackles these questions with playfulness and humor, while Wendy Panders's quirky and enlightening illustrations bring the text to life. Covering everything from COVID-19 and vaccines to diseases from the past, Snot, Sneezes, and Super-Spreaders is an accessible, engaging, and science-based guide to help young readers understand our current world."-- Provided by publisher
