Frillneck Lizards, Prairie Dogs and Koalas:
These are just three animals that global warming could push into extinction.

Global Warming is affecting everything on our Planet Earth. Forces that change how, where, and if trees and plants will grow, the temperature of rivers and oceans, and the state of the ice at both poles, has a ripple effect, that if not stopped, will spread far beyond what we imagine today.

The powerful, fragile and delightful animals in my series of books might not be around when the children you are teaching reach middle age. Fun lessons can show children how not to repeat the ecological mistakes of their parents and grandparents.

The links below offer helpful information you can include in lessons about what makes Planet Earth keep spinning, and what needs to be done to keep our wonderfully diverse flora and fauna thriving for centuries to come - not to mention future generations of our children.
