About me

My name is Mary Keady, and I write funny educational books introducing the problems of climate change to early readers. My passion is nature and wildlife, and in my spare time I plant trees.

At the moment my tree planting group is on a mission to plant ‘100 miles of hedgerow’ in and around Huddersfield, the town I was born and grew up in.When I was growing up the climate was already changing. But media representation of climate change was limited to snippets on the television about sea level rise, and the information of other possible effects was misleadingly narrow.

Climate change was nothing definite, just something that might happen in the far distant future. And as my generation brought up our children in blissful ignorance of the situation – the future slipped into the present.
