Climate change for children: “How much warmer is 1 degree?”
With the help of clear images, some in comic style, and short, concise texts, the context of climate change is shown in the award-winning book.

Each double page contains an illustrated depiction of a scenario of life on Earth.
Read here why reading out loud is important.

This is how we protect the climate and the earth: “Here we are”
In 2018, Olover Jeffers was awarded the Golden Raven.
It is a father's monologue to his unborn child, which has lost none of its relevance.
Quite the opposite.
It is a book that invites you to think, marvel and smile.
It's light and respectful at the same time.
How do I explain the world in all its diversity to a child?
That there are mountains and lakes, but also desert?
That no two people are the same and that we all have the same needs.
