But before long, Goat and Stoat's lively antics make the boat wibble and wobble! Uh-oh! Can Stoat float in the water? And will Goat's colourful coat be ruined?

Rainforest Warrior 

Anita Ganeri

You Are The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread by Samantha Renke | Waterstones

A fascinating tale of one of the first well-known environmental activists, Chico Mendes, who fought tirelessly to save the Amazon rainforest as well as fighting for people's rights.

This is the story of Chico Mendes, a Brazilian rubber tapper and environmentalist. He fought to preserve the Amazon rainforest, and advocated for the human rights of other rubber tappers who lived in the forest. Tragically, he was assassinated for trying to protect these rights.

Grippingly written by award-winning author, Anita Ganeri, and vibrantly illustrated by Margaux Carpentier, throughout the story, we see the wonders of the Amazon rainforest and learn why it is so important that global rainforests are protected.

Tell this tale and inspire a new generation of environmental heroes who will speak up and take action to protect our natural world.

Great support material for children's study of habitats, rainforests and their importance for biodiversity and helping to combat climate change.
