Foxy the Fruit Bat Sleeps Well
Foxy the Fruit Bat lives on the islands called the Maldives (pronounced mall-deevz). The Maldives are a large collection of very small coral atolls in the Indian Ocean and, on a map of the world, can be found below the southern tip of India.
Like Foxy and his friends Laila and Ghassan, children around the world have heard that these lovely islands will disappear beneath rising seas because of climate change. But that is just not true. Most of the world’s coral atolls are growing, rising higher and higher rather than getting smaller as sea levels rise. And that’s good news!
Everybody will be glad to hear that Foxy – and all who live on tropical islands – will have homes for many generations to come. -

Polly the Polar Bear Sleeps Well
Polly the Polar Bear calls Norway’s Svalbard Islands home — a rugged realm of snow and ice high above the Arctic Circle, where the Barents Sea meets the Arctic Ocean. For eight months of the year, temperatures stay well below freezing. Each spring, Polly and her kind emerge from their dens to hunt seals on the melting sea ice, feasting through the summer to build up thick reserves of body fat.
One day, Polly’s friend Hilde worried aloud that climate warming would melt so much ice that polar bears would no longer catch enough seals to survive. Polly’s mother smiled and gently explained why that isn’t true. When sunlight reaches open water, it actually boosts the entire food chain, helping seal populations grow and providing even more food for polar bears.
The good news is that polar bear numbers in Svalbard and across the Arctic are thriving. So, Polly drifts off to sleep each night knowing the sea ice will always return in the fall, just as it has for thousands of years. -
