To celebrate the release of our new reference text for teachers, Teaching the language of climate change science by Julie Hayes and Bronwyn Parkin, we're sharing this list of 32 books to support teaching about climate change and sustainability for Early Years and Primary Years Students

Teacher librarian Vicki Newton’s list rounds up all the information you need to know about each of the books, who they're suitable for, and what they cover.

Plus, she has created a bonus list of recommended reading about climate change and sustainability for teachers.

Because we know that sometimes it’s handy to have a resource you can download, print, and save, we’ve provided the lists in  handy downloadable PDFs!

About the list author
