Can We Really Help the Planet? Teaching children about climate change “As a non-fiction children’s author, one of my favourite challenges is tackling a tricky topic and making it both accessible and engaging.

What you need is a way in, ideally with some appealing characters - and what better way to explore the wonders of soil than by tunnelling underground with some wiggly worms in a question-and-answer flap book, charmingly illustrated by Moesha Kellaway?
