Chris the Crocodile & the Disappearing Swamp

By Sarah Bergs

Follow Chris the Crocodile, a young Nile crocodile living along South Africa's Olifants River, as he embarks on an adventure to understand the changing world around him. In this gentle tale, Chris explores a nearby swamp, enjoys the beauty of nature, and discovers how human changes - like a dam - can impact the wild. With the help of Windy the Owl and Camilla the Crocodile, Chris learns about resilience, finding new beginnings, and the importance of protecting wetland habitats for all creatures, big and small.

With engaging storytelling, fun facts about Nile crocodiles, and important lessons on water conservation and habitat protection, this book teaches young readers (ages 5-9) about environmental stewardship. It's a part of the Nourish Education Series-a collection of conservation-themed stories co-created with the Green Kidz of Nourish Eco Village, South Africa. Join Chris as he explores the vital connections between nature, resilience, and the need to protect our planet.

This beautifully illustrated book inspires empathy and curiosity while fostering an understanding of how our actions can impact the world around us. Perfect for young readers who love animals and adventure, this story encourages them to think critically about the environment and the importance of taking care of our natural resources.
