‘Who Will Save Us?' by Rebecca Mørch
‘Who Will Save Us?' is an inspirational book for children and their adults, which takes a positive and empowering approach to the issues of climate change and helping to resolve it. It contains a heartfelt and engaging story about a small group of young penguins discovering their wonderful world, only to find it is changing at the hands of the humans. However, there is hope in store. Their teacher, Old Wise, explains that humans are clever and caring, and - when they all work together - they can make amazing things happen...
The story is followed by a comprehensive illustrated section on how we can all help, from energy saving to fair trade, and a listing of useful organisations. The book covers the main aspects of climate change, from the ‘greenhouse effect' and greenhouse gases, to causes, effects and potential solutions, and offers a stepping-stone to further research and understanding of climate change.
‘Who Will Save Us?' has acquired supporting statements presented on the cover, from WWF-UK, Oxfam, Sustrans, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, The Wildlife Trusts and I Count. The foreword has been written by Pen Hadow, the polar explorer.
‘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 book is being successfully used in primary and secondary education and has gained very positive reviews and articles in several publications including the Ecologist.
In order to ensure the book was produced with a minimum impact on the environment and that it was distributed to create maximum positive action, Rebecca and her husband, John, decided to publish the book themselves. It has been printed in the UK, using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC - to create awareness of paper from responsibly managed forests) and 50% recycled paper, vegetable based inks and a biodegradable laminate on the cover.
