The Adventures of Captain Polo: the Climate Change Comic

When a hungry polar bear is pitched into the stormy seas from a tiny piece of melting ice, he embarks on an epic journey of discovery that will change his life forever.

"A fantastically accessible way to help children understand climate change. A FINALIST and highly recommended." - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.

"In essence Captain Polo is the story about us and our future on Earth, presented in a knowledge-based and adventurous way, which can spark much needed conversations and action to save Humanity." - Prof. Johan Rockström, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.

Alone, frightened, and drifting far from an Arctic home that is changing in ways he cannot understand, a young bear fights to survive in an unfamiliar world. But as he journeys across oceans and continents, meeting unforgettable human and animal characters, he begins to uncover the truth behind a rapidly changing planet—and his own role within it.

In this award-winning first adventure of The Adventures of Captain Polo, readers aged 9+ will explore real places, vibrant cultures, and scientifically accurate climate stories through action-packed storytelling and detailed illustrations.

Young readers will discover:

• What climate change really is—and why today’s warming is different
• How climate change affects wildlife, people, and ecosystems worldwide
• Why critical thinking matters in a world of confusion and misinformation
• How young people can become part of the solution at home, at school, and beyond

Climate change can feel overwhelming—but understanding changes everything.

And Captain Polo’s journey is only just beginning...

A dramatic cliffhanger ending leads directly into Book 2: Polo and the Yeti.
