effect of global warming on

"What can we do to stop climate change? It's time to call in some superheroes! We have elephants protecting our forests by trampling trees. Whales contributing to ocean health with their massive poo-nados. Sea otters fighting climate change by guarding kelp forests. And spiny anteaters moving 8 tons of soil each year, feeding plants as it goes. So when we protect the habitats of our climate heroes? We're protecting our planet. Get ready to learn all about these four legged, and no-legged, creatures and how YOU can be a climate hero too!"--Provided by publisher.

Known by many names in many languages, the polar bear remains one of the Arctic's signature species, and as this poem reminds readers, it is 'far out on disappearing sea ice, losing hold' in a world affected by climate change.

"[Looks at polar bear] Nanu's world as she treks uncertainly around the heart of Hudson Bay, searching for nourishment for the children that grow inside her. She stops at nothing to protect her cubs from the dangers she can see--other bears, wolves, whales, human beings--and those she cannot"--Amazon.
