About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice unfairness in the world or needs a spark of inspiration to tackle a school project. Through the quirky and imaginative eyes of Clarice Bean, children learn that they don't have to be 'grown up' to have a voice or care about the environment. The story follows Clarice as she navigates a school assignment on the planet, leading her to join a local protest to save a beloved neighborhood tree. It is a wonderful tool for discussing civic engagement and environmental stewardship in a way that feels accessible and humorous rather than heavy-handed. Parents will appreciate how it models standing up for one's beliefs while maintaining the playful energy of middle childhood. It is perfect for children aged 5 to 9 who are beginning to find their place in the wider community.
