Myriam, Marie and Muriel Dielemans, in collaboration with the International Polar Foundation, have just published two new tales for 5 to 8 year old kids. Both these tales talk about polar regions and Climate Change and explain related issues to pupils.
"Where are the igloos of Iglooville?" explains in easy terms the Kyoto protocol and the problems linked to global warming in the Arctic region. Subjects covered include the melting of the permafrost, the shrinking of the ice floe and thus also of the polar bears' territory, the mutations occurring in marine species and the opening of a sea passage for oil tankers.
"Tears from the other side of the world" talks the melting of the glaciers and the construction of a research base for the scientists working in Antarctica.
