Ally & Bibi: Back to the Jungle: A story about the Sustainable Development Goals

When Ally receives Bibi - a wild monkey - as a birthday pet, her life is turned upside down. As they become close friends, she decides to help him return to his home in the jungle, braving many dangers and meeting incredible people.

Join them in this heartfelt cross-country adventure set in a fictional Brazil, exploring the challenges that we and our planet face, as well as the solutions that exist to create a better future for everyone.

For Ally, it is a story about friendship and making the right decision despite her own feelings as well as eventually finding her place and purpose in the world.

For Bibi, it is a story about staying true to himself, kindness and giving people a second chance.

Ally & Bibi is an innovative children's book which directly refers to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - a unique framework to make the human and natural world a better place and understand how all aspects of our lives are interconnected.

Achieving the SDGs would help make sure that:

• Everyone has a decent house to live in, along with access to food and water
• Everyone enjoys the same opportunities to get an education and find decent work
• Everyone enjoys affordable access to healthcare
• We learn to tackle air, water and land pollution as well as waste in general - building a cleaner environment for our children
• We reduce social and economic inequalities to build more inclusive societies
• We can protect the whole planet and biodiversity on land and under water
• We build greener cities and promote more sustainable ways of living

The picture book features exciting real-life stories and examples of social and environmental solutions that can be scaled up to help everyone transition to a greener human world with a more gentle impact on the planet.

To help everyone improve their impact on climate change, waste and pollution, at the end of the picture book you will find:

• 3 sustainable actions for children
• 3 sustainable actions for adults

We hope the book provides a great introduction to ways to fight climate change for kids as well as an initial guide for how to talk about climate change with your children by focusing on solutions to avoid causing any climate anxiety.

We are an eclectic team of educators, visual storytellers and artists with years of experience in making scientific research available to the wider public. That's why our mission with this children's book was to make sustainability as easy to understand for little ones through an inspiring and exciting story.
