Bondi & Poppy Help Heal the Planet - Hardcover
by Judith A. Proffer (Author), Yoko Matsuoka (Illustrator)
An Australian koala and a California bear gently introduce children to the impact of climate change and offer everyday practices to help save both animal and human habitats.
Written in rhyme format, Bondi & Poppy Help Heal the Planet is a tender and sometimes playful conversation starter for even the youngest of readers, addressing the realities of global warming while offering hope and encouraging action.
Be mindful of waste, of not using too much
Like water and lights and paper and such.
Use your great brain and walk when you can
Talk with your family to make a smart plan.
Author Judith A. Proffer resides in Southern California. In late 2019 she left behind a particularly challenging fire season in Los Angeles for a three week holiday in Australia, quickly discovering that she had entered the country's worst fire season in recent memory. The region she spent Christmas Day that year (Kangaroo Island) was decimated by fire just days after she left. Bondi & Poppy is her response to the ferocity of the back to back fire seasons she experienced that year.
She is the co-author of When We Stayed Home (a tribute to how young children navigated big feelings and cheered themselves on during the upheaval of pandemic) and Broadway Baby.
Illustrated by award-winning artist Yoko Matsuoka.
