不用等到21世紀，不用等40年、30年，大洪水將朝每一個大都市而來，孟加拉、東京、上海、孟買、台北、高雄、紐約、邁阿密、倫敦，兩億人口的家，終於在無所逃避的大自然現象中，面臨湮滅的危機。

從氣候變化的性質和規模來看，沒有任何一個國家可以單靠自身的力量面對這項挑戰，也沒有任何一個區域能夠逃避極端氣候變化的影響。因此人類必須在全球的架構下，攜手合作，面對並解決極端氣候變化帶來的衝擊，才能阻止我們美麗的家園從地球上消失！
推介原因：
這本書想要提醒所有的讀者，再不珍惜我們現在擁有的美麗地球，一旦氣候變遷的腳步無法放慢或停止，那麼，我們將會面臨全球100個地方即從地球消失的噩運！

書名： 《了不起的妳》
作者：瑪莉∙霍夫曼(翻譯：幸佳慧)
出版社： 小魯文化事業股份有限公司
推介者： 黃淑暉老師
內容簡介：
葛莉絲是一個很愛故事的小女孩，不管這些故事是她聽來的、讀來的，或是從她腦袋裡編出來的……在她聽完故事後，有時候故事都還在繼續着，葛莉絲就演起來了，而且她總是讓自己扮演故事中最討喜的男性角色。有一次，學校要同學演小飛俠彼得潘的戲，葛莉絲想演彼得潘。最初，同學都認為擁有黑皮膚、且是女孩子的葛莉絲不能扮演本是男性角色的彼得潘，但最後葛莉絲得到同學的認同，成功擔任彼得潘一角。從「扮演他們」延伸至「替代他們」，暗示女性的潛能。
推介原因：
每個小朋友在追求夢想的過程中，都有可能因為自身的一些侷限而感到無助甚至沮喪，所以我希望透過這本書鼓勵大家要相信自己，只要下定決心，努力去追夢，夢想就會離自己越來越近。另外，這本書透過故事宣揚清晰的訊息：眾人的天賦人權不該因為不同性別、膚色、信仰、階級而異。
此外，這本書榮獲凱特格林威年度童書推薦獎，入選英國圖書信託基金會「百年最佳童書書單一百本」，絕對值得同學閱讀。

Title: Peter Pan
Author: J.M. Barrie
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
Recommended by: Mr. John Lui Chun Sing
Summary:
One night, Peter Pan flies through the window of the Darling family. There he meets three children:Wendy, Michael, and John. Peter teaches them to fly, and leads them to the home of the Lost Boys in Neverland. There, among pirates, Indians, and wild animals, the children have countless exciting adventures. But Captain Hook, the evil leader of the pirates, is determined to wipe out the Lost Boys, and especially their leader, Peter Pan. He contrived to kidnap the boys and Wendy, setting the stage for a showdown aboard the pirate ship between Peter and Captain Hook.
Reasons for recommendation:
Peter Pan and other children literature matter today, more than ever. We do not take enough time to dream because we are too busy. Peter Pan allows us to think that we can make the impossible possible. Michael, John and Wendy Darling believed they can fly, and so they kept trying until they became good at it. We do not lack bright ideas that could make the world a better place, but nothing will become of them until we muster up the courage to take action.
