A new educational book for children with penguins – ‘Who will save us?’

Posted: 7 August 2008

‘Who Will Save Us?’ is an inspirational book for children which is being successfully used by both primary and secondary schools. It takes a positive and empowering approach to the issues of climate change and helping to resolve it. The book contains a heartfelt and engaging story about the penguins of Antarctica, which is followed by a concise and comprehensive section on what we can all do to help, from energy saving to fair trade, and a listing of useful organisations.

“A beautifully composed and illustrated book that will inspire children and adults alike. A real example of how to explore what it means to be an active global citizen.” Oxfam.

The 'Who Will Save Us? Children’s and Young People’s Project’ offers an educational and empowering opportunity to help resolve climate change and to help with other related issues. The process involves children’s and young people’s schools and groups being able to buy in the books at a reduced rate, and sell them at the retail price, thereby making £2.50 per book. This profit becomes the children’s/young people’s budget. They then ‘work together’ (following the message of the book) to research climate change, question, discuss and decide how to spend their budget to help. This project encourages good citizenship alongside other skills and national, primary and secondary schools are already taking part. The project is succeeding in helping to develop sustainability in schools and the community.
