A must read for kids.
5-star review from a teacher
“Goodnight Fossil Fuels! A Climate Story” is here!
Follow penguins as they take the lead in solving the climate crisis. They need to save their melting home. After all, it is made of ice. They put fossil fuels to bed under cookie sheets, bed sheets and even a really big ice sheet! But that’s not enough; they need YOUR help!
Author’s note: I could not find an engaging and accurate climate story to read with my young nephews, so I wrote my own story and researched the book-publishing process. For the artwork, I collaborated with illustrator Kira Davis. Together, we created this marvelous book for you! Enjoy and share it widely!

It is generally eligible for Prime! Outside of Prime, ordering from Amazon can be a little unpredictable in terms of pricing and shipping times. For the best experience: Order the book directly from Amazon (“ships from Amazon.com” and “sold by Amazon.com”); do not order from third-party sellers on Amazon.
If you purchase the book from Amazon (or Barnes & Noble for that matter), kindly post a review!! I love seeing reviews like the one above; it is really gratifying and helps so much with exposure. Thank you!

Description
A climate story for kids ages 5 and up with captivating illustrations of penguin heroes.
Follow penguins as they take the lead in solving the climate crisis. They need to save their melting home. After all, it is made of ice. They put fossil fuels to bed under cookie sheets, bed sheets, and even a really big ice sheet! But the fossil fuels are rowdy and won’t stay in bed, causing all kinds of weather chaos. Consulting with scientists, the penguins hatch a plan to prevent fossil carbon from wreaking further havoc on Earth’s climate, people, and ecosystems. What is the plan? How can you help?
Written in memorable rhymes, this epic story of climate change has been carefully researched by a doctor of climate science, and professionally illustrated with 25 unique watercolors. Beautiful, hopeful, and a little bit silly, this book will inform and entertain children of all ages.
Arriving at a pivotal moment for defining the future, this book is designed to educate, spark discussion and inspire action. With an engaging story and a well-researched Epilogue, this book guides families who are looking to make a difference in our collective climate future.
Wake up to the climate crisis and join the fight to wish fossil fuels goodnight!
Hail to the penguins and the scientists too. They know that fossil fuels are bad for me and you. Read this book and have happy dreams, of a world without fossil fuels, and a climate that gleams!

What can you do next to advance climate action? How about giving copies of “Goodnight Fossil Fuels!” to your kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and your local Little Free Library!
My 5-year-old son doesn’t like books about “real things,” but he was captivated by the illustrations and the penguins and asked to read it three times in a row. It stressed me out to read about the [state of the] planet to my 5 year old, to whom I had not yet explained climate change. However, he seemed to take it at face value. I really appreciate the hopeful ending.
