Rising Seas: Flooding, Climate Change and Our New World

Keltie Thomas and Belle Wuthrich. Richmond Hills: Firefly Books Limited, 2018.

Rising Seas is another informational text that effectively conveys a sense of urgency to young readers about rising sea levels. One interesting aspect of the book is that the factual information it presents cover a variety of different countries, areas, and cultural landmarks. Furthermore, it shows how many different coastal areas around the Earth will be affected by flooding in the near future.

The graphics and illustrations and are striking and original, and the images that imagine sea level rise are impactful. An important addition to the text is that it offers solutions that may counter some of the distressing realities it presents.
