2019 – a good year for children’s non fiction

This year has been the year of the eco-book. For many years the environment has tended to be tagged onto the end of books about the natural world, as if it were a separate subject. I’ve been pushing for greater integration of this topic within books for years. Now, finally, the wider world has caught up and the human impact on the environment is not just an added topic but is becoming the focus of many books, which is great news.
