It's My World Too
Author : Elena Pasquali
Publisher : Lion Hudson plc (2010)
This beautifully illustrated yet sincere picture book features an adorable cast of animals from around the world to encourage children to practise respect for the planet and the animals that share it with us. Heartfelt conversations between mother and baby animals (pandas, elephants, snow leopards, chimps and porpoises) highlight how both global and local human impact is threatening their habitats, but also the things – both natural and human – that go to make it a better place. With a hole-in-the-page novelty, ‘think about’ boxes and a pleaful refrain from the animals to remember ‘it’s my world too’, this book is playful in approach but with a serious message at heart, to give children an awareness of important environmental issues and encouragement to be kind to their planet.

Are You Sad, Little Bear?
Author : Rachel Rivett
Publisher : Lion Hudson plc (2009)
Grandmother Bear has gone for ever, and Little Bear is feeling sad. His mother wisely suggests that perhaps asking his woodland companions what saying goodbye means to them will help him understand his loss. Little Bear’s day of exploring and asking questions brings him comfort and hope. For the swallows, saying goodbye means flying to warmer lands; for the leaves of the trees it is a chance to be free, leaving the tree at her most beautiful; for the moon it is to return to be with the Sun; and for the Sun it is to rise in another sky and just because Little Bear can’t see him doesn’t mean he isn’t there. This charmingly illustrated picture book will help young children in times of bereavement, loss or change, gently exploring the reasons for saying goodbye and giving reassurance that goodbye doesn’t mean the end of things.
