Clever Dad and the Submarine – new story – cover artwork

This is the brilliant cover art work for the third story in my Clever Dad series created by Gerry Newton. In this instalment, as you can imagine, Tristan has an adventure in a submarine. This time however he is joined by his brother William. The story is an adventure as always and in this third book I cover a number of environmental issues for young readers. Hopefully, I will get it published in 2026.

In the meantime here are some details about the first book, Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship.

Tristan’s father builds him a pirate ship on the promise that he will be a good pirate. He sets sail and discovers that he needs to go to Polysneezia because some really bad pirates are digging the whole island up looking for money. Can he persuade them to leave before they cause the island to sink? Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship is Tristan’s first adventure.

The book is available from Amazon as a printed version or as an ebook. There are illustrations throughout the story and in the printed book they are repeated at the end so that they can be coloured in.

The story is available globally from Amazon. This is the .co.uk link, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clever-Pirate-Ship-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/1980869561/, and this is the .com link, https://www.amazon.com/Clever-Pirate-Ship-Paul-No%C3%ABl-ebook/dp/B08BPLDLL6/.

Clever Dad and the Space Rocket, the second story, is also available on Amazon.

Our Etsy shop has blank greeting, birthday, invitation cards of Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship’s book’s cover artwork, https://junagarhmedia.etsy.com. Larger quantities of cards are available.

Two #seas, same place, same time, two futures:
The Gulf of #Mexico - Ecologically rich, teeming with endangered life
The Gulf of #America - Dead zone where the only things moving are oil pumps
Guess which I prefer.
Guess which evil corporations prefer.
Full #oil ahead!

Why can't it simply stay like this? "...the government must protect an endangered species “whatever the cost.”

This is not just a #US thing, corps are doing this, with much less #news coverage, worldwide!

The #sea is higher than we thought and millions more are at #risk, study finds #tsunami #flooding #hurricanes #climatecrisis #weather #ClimateChange rising #seas may threaten tens of millions more people than #scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high #coastal #waters already are, a new study said. https://apnews.com/article/sea-level-rise-climate-change-flooding-warming-59bb59d2fe839224a10bd28d604b5d95

Study says millions more are exposed to rising seas than thought

A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters. The discrepancy stems from widespread reliance on gravitational models that account for Earth’s gravity and rotation but overlook local drivers of sea level including tides, currents and wind. Correcting this suggests a 1-meter or 3-foot rise could inundate up to 37% more land and threaten as many as 132 million more people. And that has major implications for climate adaption planning and finance. The findings come as a new UNESCO report warns that major gaps in understanding how much carbon the ocean absorbs are also skewing global climate projections.

From #WWF #Canada:

Protecting an ocean of ice and snow

With international waters no longer (mostly) lawless thanks to the High Seas Treaty, the world can now protect parts of the open ocean. This is especially critical for the still (mostly) frozen central Arctic Ocean as melting sea ice increases shipping and other industrial activities.
