"Clever...beguiling....Readers age 11 and older are likely to finish this book feeling both persuaded and uplifted. Beauty has a way of doing that."--Wall Street JournalFor young readers comes an imaginative guide to ocean plastics, filled with tips and tricks for identifying--and combating--pollution in our oceans.

From the "scientist finding climate change's smoking gun" (WIRED) and a Times 100 Most Influential Person comes a bracing investigation into extreme weather's impact on the world's most vulnerable. For fans of Naomi Klein and Greta Thunberg. Climate change does not affect everyone equally. While many scientists focus on studying climate change as a physics problem, Friederike Otto, one of the world's most renowned climate scientists, sees it as a symptom of the global crisis of inequality, not its cause. In this ambitious, fast-paced book, she offers concrete examples of how extreme weather events caused by climate change reveal uncomfortable truths about the failures of political and social infrastructures around the world. Comparing eight extreme weather events--including heat waves in North America, floods in Pakistan, droughts in Madagascar, and wildfires in Australia--Otto reveals how climate change is affecting the world's most vulnerable, whether they are women working on farms

A moving, lovely cri de coeur from a father whose daughter has moved to another country.Set during Chinese New Year, a time when Chinese families come together for a wonderful feast, this delicate picture book tells the story of a father and daughter who live in different countries.

The loss, for both parent and child, that comes from leaving home and finding independence is beautifully and lovingly portrayed.Though this story refers to a specifically Chinese celebration, at this time when so many families have been forced to be apart, even for traditionally essential family festivals, all of us can relate to the universal feelings expressed in New Year.An Aldana Libros Book
