Synopsis
This digital book is set on the coast of Sri Lanka, where a boy named Adesh learns from his oceanographer neighbor about climate change, sea level rise, biodiversity loss, and unhealthy living conditions for sea life.
Students will learn about solutions to climate change and what they can do to make a difference.
The book contains helpful pronunciation guides for Sri Lankan names, a world map, and a glossary.
Women are depicted in the roles of oceanographer and fisher, countering the stereotype that certain professions are for men.
Prerequisites
Though this book may be read as a stand-alone book, it is the sixth in a series of books from ClimateScience.
