THE OUKA BOOK

 

TOPIC: At a time of historic international climate negotiations, a kids book (4-8 years old) to raise awareness on this key issue of climate change, engaging their future.

 

SUMMARY: The OUKAS are creatures that live in a marvellous world. One day they come on holiday to our planet and they notice that everything is going wrong. The countries that should be nice and warm are dry, in the countries that should be cold the ice is melting and in the countries where the weather should be mild, that is not too hot or too cold, there are floods. So the OUKAS try to find a solution to save our planet!

“Let’s rise to the challenge together because, as the old OUKA Wiseman said so well, every gesture counts. Let’s act and become citizens in defence of the climate.”

“Finally, this book addresses children as well as adults since it is true that we must all understand the challenge that we face in order to act. The good new is that we are still in time and that we can win! So let’s all get to work, let’s all become OUKAS! ”

“I believe that environmental education is one of the keys to preventing the younger generation from repeating our mistakes. This book is ideal for this reason and I thank Carole Stora-Calté for her artistic contribution, endowed with a grand power of conviction.”
