An exquisitely illustrated picture book that explores our relationship with forests and looks at how climate change is changing the picture.

Forests are different around the world. They range from hot, damp rainforests to icy taiga forests, but all of them offer a home for animals and plants, precious natural resources and beautiful places to have fun, spot nature and find calm.

But forests are under threat from climate change, habitat loss, and pollution. Find out how we can all help to look after our precious forests, as well as enjoy them.

Children's Planet is a beautifully illustrated series of picture books that encourage children to engage with and enjoy our precious natural surroundings. Perfect for children aged 5 and up.
