Our World Out of Balance: Understanding Climate Change and What We Can Do

Engaging climate change guide for young readers.

If you're seeking an approachable yet profound way for kids to grasp the climate crisis, "Our World Out of Balance" strikes that balance perfectly. It's not just about scaring them with the realities; it equips them with the understanding and tools they need to feel like they can make a difference. It's a blend of the seriousness of science and the optimism of youth action—a combination that can inspire your young reader to be a part of positive change.

Description

This accessible guide for children details how humans have thrown the planet off-balance and ways we can work to create a healthier world. Encouraging and easily digestible, this illustrated nonfiction guide introduces children ages eight to twelve to the important topic of climate change with tips on “How You Can Help” and citizen scientist activities. Filled with engaging big ideas that will inspire children to think about their role in keeping our world healthy, Our World Out of Balance details how humans have thrown the planet off-balance and ways we can work together to be part of the solution and create a healthier world. “This clear introduction to the what’s and why's of environmental degradation balances sad facts with examples of what can and is being done. A solid pick . . . for its positive approach and breadth.” —Kirkus Reviews “Our World Out of Balance is a wonderful introduction to climate change and other global environmental challenges for children. Unlike so many other books about climate change, it does not traffic in fear. Instead, it presents the facts and shows what young people can do to help build a cleaner, safer and more equitable future for the planet.” —Simon Donner, Professor, Climate Scientist, University of British Columbia
