We all know these common misconceptions: “everyone swallows eight spiders in their sleep per year”, “wasps sting out of pure malice”.

Nonsense! This book explains and educates us about common misconceptions involving animals we do not necessarily love.

The concept is funny and entertaining: read about all the bad things said against rats, toads, earwigs and wolves – and if you want to know the truth, flip the book by 180 degrees to discover exciting facts about these allegedly “nasty critters” and their behaviour. You’ll find all (or at least some!) of your prejudices disappear.

• "The Picture of Dorian Gray" meets "Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children"

The tree really wants to know what the world is like outside the forest – and over the hill – and beyond that distant mountain …

A story about how curiosity can help us overcome our fear of change.

What does climate action have to do with sailing? Greta Thunberg’s decision to cross the Atlantic on Boris Herrmann’s boat rather than fly to the UN climate summit in New York has become a symbol of climate activism: of all modes of transport, sailing is perhaps the most mindful of nature. Now, climate activists Boris Herrmann and Birte Lorenzen-Herrmann want to awaken the same mindfulness and awareness of the fragility of our planet in all children – and enlighten and educate them along the way. 

Boris Herrmann is the best German yachtsman of our time. He and his wife, Birte Lorenzen-Herrmann, together with scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg and the GEOMAR in Kiel, have set up the My Ocean Challenge programme, which brings together sailing, science and education. Birte also developed its eponymous schools programme, which fosters climate awareness and an understanding of our oceans among 8 to 14-year-olds. 

Lara Paulussen’s atmospheric, playful illustrations can be found in magazines, children’s non-fiction books, animations and brand designs.
