Included in the Book
6 reasons why you should buy this book:
1.
Lead with compassion
From Covid to wars to natural disasters, kids are being affected by our changing planet and need books to help guide them on how to get through these experiences compassionately.
2.
Global warming made simple
During the Black Summer fires, it’s estimated that 5.5 million hectares and 3 billion animals were affected – some species are believed to have even been driven to extinction. And yet there are very few books that discuss these topics in an appropriate way for our youngest readers.
3.
Take care of animals - it's their planet too
As a teacher, I have created this book to be the perfect balance between educating and entertaining in an age-appropriate way. It’s our responsibility to teach the next generation values that will make the world a better place for all the creatures in it.
4.
Teach kids about climate change
In 2022, there were 421 recorded natural disasters worldwide. Compared to 357 just ten years previous. As our world changes and adapts to a harsher climate and the results of human overpopulation – our animals are suffering the consequences.
5.
Watch sharing in action
Sharing is something all children struggle to understand. In this book, they will see an example from a relatable character and gain a better understanding of how to let go.
6.
Educational and entertaining
With short attention spans, writing a children’s book becomes a delicate balance between providing educational information in an entertaining way that keeps them engaged all while creating a story that many different kids can relate to. When we can relate to something, we automatically place it into our long-term memory making the lesson stick for life.
"My children and I love Ali Finds Her Courage. This thoughtful and well written book is perfect for elementary aged children. The beautifully realistic bush images combined with a strong story of a little Kangaroo finding the courage to risk her safety to help a little Koala is very touching. The author captured the concept of a forest fire without making it scary for children. My kids (ages 4 and 7) want to read it again and again! I highly recommend this book to wildlife lovers, parents, and teachers. The lessons are wholesome and easily relatable for kids. The author even has a free teacher/parent reading guide available on her social media."
