“The Adventures of Captain Polo: The Climate Change Comic stands out with its vivid illustrations and clear, engaging narrative. It’s not just a story about a talking polar bear; it’s a compelling invitation to understand and engage with the critical issue of climate change. By framing this global challenge through the lens of adventure, Hesse encourages readers to consider their own impact on the world and promotes awareness in an approachable, memorable manner.“
“A fantastically accessible way to help children understand climate change. A FINALIST and highly recommended.“
“Footnotes throughout and a final epilogue offer helpful scientific explanations and practical solutions. The reader is left understanding the gravity of the situation without being led into dispair. Polo is an attractive, inspiring character who can be introduced to students as a messenger of various voices about the current world emergency for which we are all responsible. Looking forward to exploring Part Two and Three! “
“Aimed at secondary school students but should be required reading for politicians and decision makers at every level. Charming characterisations and great drawing introduce the myriad of oft unrecognised ways in which we are contributing to the climate chaos we face. Just wish we could make it required reading!“
