The first up is Alison Pearce Stevens. Her new book, Animal Climate Heroes released March 5th. I’ve read the book and it is PERFECT for curious kids. Here’s a bit more info:   Animal Climate Heroes by Alison Pearce Stevens (Author), Jason Ford (Illustrator)            Godwin Books, March 5, 2024.   BUY it HERE    Summary: In our left corner we have the meanest villain that’s ever existed. Responsible for rising seas and loss of biodiversity, it’s climate change ready to wreak havoc on the Earth. But in our right corner? We have four superheroes ready to save the day! Forest elephants protect our forests by trampling trees. Whales boost ocean health with their massive poo-nados. Sea otters defend kelp forests from purple invaders. And echidnas bury tons of soil to stop climate change. But we can’t leave them in this fight alone.https://fromthemixedupfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ACH_cover_lg-242x360.png
