These are incredible books that clearly and beautifully explain some of the current environmental problems the world is facing to primary and preschool aged children.

The first book is called Duffy's Lucky Escape and is based on the true story of a turtle who was rescued, rehabilitated and released after ingesting plastic from the oceans. 

The second book is called Marli's Tangled Tale about a puffin who gets tangled in a balloon from a balloon release.

The third book Nelson’s Dangerous Dive about a whale who gets trapped in fishing nets.

And the fourth book, Buddy’s Rainforest Rescue is about an orangutan and palm oil.

The fifth book, Hunter's Icy Adventure is newly released and is about polar bears and climate change.

As we know there is a huge growing national and international consciousness about the dangers of plastic in our oceans and it is important to teach children about this devastating global issue without overwhelming them or shocking them with images of plastic in animals stomachs or trapped in nets or plastic.  The Wild Tribe Heroes series of books guides young readers through the issues in a gentle and friendly way together with further information to inspire children to make changes to their own and their families lives such as going plastic free.
