The worldwide interest in climate change is at an all-time high!
With Madrid Climate Summit ending this week, there are millions of children at home asking – what is climate change and what to do to stop it?
We have answers! Look no further than to a non-fiction book by Laura Ertimo and Mari Ahokoivu called WEIRD WEATHER! that could help children (and adults) understand the changing climate and the concrete steps to fight it.

Lucia Hlubeňová at IKAR is excited about the book:

“We are very honored to be the Slovak publisher of Weird Weather. We appreciate that the book combines educational and entertaining elements. The theme of the book is extremely important in light of current events. We thank the authors and we look forward to launching the book on the Slovak market next year.”
– Lucia Hlubeňová, Editor-in-chief for children’s literature, IKAR, a.s., Slovakia

MORE PUBLISHERS’ PRAISE:

We are so thrilled to have acquired the Italian rights for Weird Weather! Telling the children about what is happening to our planet and the way we could still make it right is a moral duty for us, the generation who has messed it up. Laura Ertimo and Mari Ahokoivu make it funny and entertaining, which is the best key to get the children engaged to such a relevant topic. – Alessandro Gelso, Publisher, Edizioni Il Battello a Vapore – Piemme/Mondadori Children’s Books

“We’re extremely proud to be the Hungarian publisher of Weird Weather. Minutes after opening the manuscript a few weeks ago, we knew this is a one of a kind book: not only because it deals with a crucially important topic but also because of how it deals with it. We think the illustrations and the whole layout is captivating, and the fact that the book is informative and entertaining at the same time is astonishing. We congratulate the authors and are looking forward to publishing Weird Weather next year”

This beautifully illustrated book not only gives facts about climate change, but also presents the steps that we can take to stop this serious problem in an entertaining way.
