Si'ahl and the Council of Animals: A Story of Our Changing Climate for Children and Their Parents Margie Lister Muenzer

A delightful story in which animals living in the wild contact humans to ask for their help, due to habitat changes from climate change. With help from the likes of Braveheart Black Bear and Chatty Gray Squirrel, and guided by Si'ahl, the bald eagle who is the head of the Council of Animals, the animals come up with an ingenious way to let the humans know they are in trouble. The humans gradually become aware of how their activities over many years have affected the animals' habitats and they begin to work on changing their actions to benefit not only the animals but themselves as well. Adults can use this book to start a conversation about climate change with children.
