Did you know that the first person to discover true north and climate change was a Chinese man in the 11th century? Learn more about his life, how he developed a love of learning and wrote a book to share his knowledge with the world!

‘Shen Kuo – Discoverer of true north and climate change’ is a beautifully illustrated biography about a natural scientist whose incredible research detailed how compasses really work and how climate changes over time.

Written and published independently by Young Trees Education, the book features outstanding illustrations by Emanuel Colban.

History is filled with people who had a positive impact on the world, but whose stories are known by so few. Our aim is to change that. Our Story is made up of their stories, and through learning about them we can aspire to reach our own potential and leave a bright and lasting legacy.

This is a 40 page children’s book which includes questions and a craft activity, a glossary and pronunciation guide at the end as well as a QR code linking to further information about Shen Kuo for our young readers to interact with.

We are also delighted to have partnered with CAMFED to provide one day of schooling for a young girl in Africa with each book purchased.

Mission:
The goal of Young Trees Education is to empower the next generation through engaging and comprehensive educational tools that fill gaps in traditional curricula in order to foster well-rounded individuals.

We prioritise:
  1. Life Skills and Global Competencies.
  2. Social-Emotional Development and Cognitive Development.
  3. Content and physical engagement over excessive screen time.

We hope you enjoy our efforts and we look forward to hearing from you!

    Our Story Media Group have done it again, producing another brilliant book about someone I knew nothing about. Shen Kuo achieved mastery in so many areas and through this dedication to the pursuit of knowledge discovered both true north and climate change.

    There are some thought provoking discussion points at the back and a craft activity for children to complete too. I would highly recommend this along with the other books in the series!

    I decided to give this book a try as it peaked my interest and I was pleasantly surprised. The story itself was new to me and well written for young readers. I especially liked the inclusion of a glossary. Together with the illustrations and the activities at the end, this book kept on giving! Highly recommended.
