Here at the University of Buckingham Press, our mission is to publish meaningful, important and engaging content and make it available to as wide a global audience as possible. We publish journals and books which cover an array of subjects including education, climate change, environment, economics, law, art, food and drink, literature and media studies. As part of this variety, we wanted to introduce you to one of our most recent series - The Little Helpers by Claire Culliford. This is a collection of climate-conscious children's books which offer a fun and accessible way for children to learn about the environment and feature beautiful full-colour illustrations by Emma Allen. This series was written in accordance with a number of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals in a bid to raise awareness at a young age when it comes to global environmental and social issues as well as establishing enjoyable, creative ways of resolving them.
