There are many children‘s books about animals, but there is no
one like this!
Funny, absurd and impressive facts combined with a bit of
geography and history make sure the information stays in your
head, not only in that of children but certainly also of adults.
And of course, the beautiful design and the colourful illustrations
makes sure that you will get lost in this book.

what we are and how we tick. Some of us can do things that are
unique, we speak 6000 different languages, but together we can
achieve things that no other creature is able to. And we all have
a lot in common: we can be mean (sometimes), we‘re curious,
we can feel happy or furious, we want a home and to be healthy.

No ice, no polar bear
Questions about Climate
The climate is not only on everyone‘s lips, but also on television,
in the newspaper and as protests on the streets. Posters showing
sweating planets and polar bears, polluting cars and factories,
plastic garbage and coal diggers.
But what does that all have to do with climate? Climate, that
sounds big and important, but also quite inaccessible, almost
confusing.

Future History 2050
It is the year 2020 and a researcher finds a stack of notebooks
in a Berlin archive. He starts reading and is shocked to find that
this is the history of the next thirty years. Could this really be
the story of the future? In the front of the first notebook there
is a message from the „interviewer“, a teenager named Billy,
explaining that the pages contain transcripts of conversations
with her grandmother Nancy, recorded in the year 2050. We hear
about the great climate SHOCK which has terrible consequences
for humanity. We learn about the era of failed populist rule,
