THE TINGALINGS are a cast of five loveable characters - Braveling, Sparkling, Darling, Smartling and Bumbling -who promote kindness and climate change awareness. Using one character and one adventure at a time, the series gently opens young eyes to climate change's extensive reach, with easy ideas for ways to reduce our carbon output at home.
The series launched in November 2020 with DARLING SAVES A KOALA BEAR, following Darling's adventure to save koala bears from the wildfires ravaging their home. Next in April 2021 came BRAVELING SAVES A SNOW LEOPARD. Then third up is 'kind, wise, calm' Smartling's ocean adventure, which exposes the impact of waste on ocean habitats. The weighty reality of sea pollution is toned down for young minds by each story's happy outcome, Jenny Wren's delightful illustrations, sing-song text and ideas for simple climate solutions that the whole family can adopt.
The Tingalings are playing in the park when they are visited by a distressed seagull who has flown from the coast to give an important message - a baby sea turtle is trapped in plastic waste and needs rescuing. The Tingalings jump to action! Fun facts are provided on oceans and sea turtles. A must have for all inquisitive children.
