Join Marc ter Horst and his translator Laura Watkinson at Wokingham Childrens Book Festival as they talk about the last two books they have worked on together.
Palm Trees at the North Pole is a clear, accessible and often funny book that will help young readers understand the most important issue humanity has ever faced – climate change. It’s about windmills and water power, icebergs and volcanoes, innovative scientists and brave inventors, not to mention farting cows and roaring cars!
Snot, Sneezes, and Super-Spreaders: Everything You Need to Know About Viruses and How to Stop Them explores the extraordinary world of viruses, from their creation and transmission and what we can to do stop them. This fantastic book addresses the pandemic in an age appropriate way, going beyond the doom and gloom. It looks at fascinating, icky diseases of the past and those that hang around today, as well as talking about the science behind how to protect ourselves and our communities from current and future viruses.
