Reach for this book when your child expresses fear of the 'monsters' in nature or wonders if one small action really matters in the grand scheme of the world. It is the perfect tool for moving beyond a surface-level fear of predators toward a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. Using a clear, hypothetical 'what if' structure, Lily Williams explains the concept of a trophic cascade. Readers see how the disappearance of sharks leads to an overpopulation of smaller fish, which then deplete the ocean's greenery, eventually affecting the very air we breathe. It is an empowering read that replaces anxiety with scientific understanding and a sense of environmental responsibility. While it deals with complex ecological themes, the bright illustrations and straightforward prose make it accessible for children as young as four.
