Produktbeschreibung

In the magical world of Whoo and the Oil Dragons, ancient dragons have guarded oil for ages, long before humans existed. Whoo, a wise old owl, watches over the forest and shares stories with her animal friends each night. As people begin drilling for oil, the dragons awaken. At first amazed by human inventions powered by their oil - from cars and airplanes to plastics - the dragons are filled with pride. But Whoo grows concerned as she notices the environmental toll. The young dragons soon discover the challenges of oil dependence. Fires rage in the forest from climate change. Oil spills coat Whoo's wings. Plastic waste piles up. With Whoo's guidance, the young dragons realize their duty to ensure the oil is used wisely to protect the planet. Determined to save the earth, the dragons visit children far and wide to share ways to live sustainably, like conserving energy, reducing plastic use, and believing in a greener future. In the end, the dragons learn there is always room to change, grow and help our planet flourish. Whoo and the Oil Dragons is a timely tale that doesn't shy away from complex issues like climate change and sustainability. Yet it delivers its message with sensitivity, hope, and an ultimately empowering vision for children. Brought to life with vivid illustrations, the story introduces relatable characters like the inquisitive young dragons and wise Whoo. Their journey will resonate with children around 9-10, who are beginning to explore their place in the world. At its core, this picture book holds an inspiring message: that the next generation has the power to make a difference through their choices and beliefs. It's a valuable springboard for parents and teachers to discuss environmental issues and the importance of working together to protect our planet.
