A Children's Book on Sustainability & SDGs: Ally & Bibi

Sustainability for everyone

Changing our way of life has become vital to our survival. And so is changing the hearts and minds of everyone to induce systemic change.

We've creating a children's book on sustainability to educate children and parents alike. Mainstreaming the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development remains one of the biggest hurdles to widespread adoption.

Why a children's book on the SDGs

The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are a complex topic (we might even say "story") that needs to be broken down to its core fundamentals: life on Earth is in jeopardy.

Our way of life is destructive and simply unsustainable.

For people to care, one key ingredient is needed: emotion.

A picture book to inspire change

1. Connect

Spending time with family in a relaxed way, without feeling like we're at school, is key. Stories connect with our primal selves and were always a tool for survival.

2. Educate

Educative elements will be part of the subtext and context of the story. But first, we need the children (ages 3-6) to care deeply about the story and its protagonists.

3. Inspire action

At the end of the book, we delve in details on the SDGs and how they relate to each relevant part of the book. We show how concrete action can help change the world.

4. Reach out to parents

We're not just targeting kids. Many parents too would love to know how they can do more, but parenting itself leaves them with little time on their hands to read up on this.

Children's book on sustainability Ally & Bibi

The start of a journey

When Ally realises that Bibi - a birthday gift from his parents - isn't happy among humans, she decides to help him find his family.

They travel across the country to find them and meet people fighting to protect forests and oceans. To build a fairer, more sustainable world for all.

You can now also find it at Barnes & Nobles as well as Tertulia.

A picture book about the environment & social justice

When Ally receives Bibi - a wild monkey - as a birthday pet, her life is turned upside down. As they become close friends, she decides to help him return to his home in the jungle, braving many dangers and meeting incredible people.

Join them in this heartfelt cross-country adventure set in a fictional Brazil, exploring the challenges that we and our planet face, as well as the solutions that exist to create a better future for everyone.

For Ally, it is a story about friendship and making the right decision despite her own feelings as well as eventually finding her place and purpose in the world.

For Bibi, it is a story about staying true to himself, kindness and giving people a second chance.

A tool against climate anxiety

Ally & Bibi is an innovative children's book that refers to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - a unique framework to make the human and natural world a better place and understand how all aspects of our lives are interconnected.

It's about protecting our environment and everyone's lives within it.

To help everyone improve their impact on climate change, waste and pollution, at the end of the picture book you will find:

3 sustainable actions for children
3 sustainable actions for adults

The book provides a great introduction on simple but effective ways to fight climate change for kids as well as an initial guide for how to talk about climate change with your children by focusing on solutions rather than challenges.

Printing process

Whilst we're not particularly proud of going through Amazon for our first self-published book our focus has been on the urgency of the climate crisis and reaching as many people as quickly as possible.

The main upside is that we will be relying on a "print on demand" process. This means that Amazon will only produce units as they're ordered, which reduces excess production.

They also claim to maintain a minimum standard regarding recycling waste materials resulting from the printing process and from daily office operations, which we hope will further reduce the environmental impact of the book.

Bear with us as we investigate more sustainable printing alternatives.
