What's the Big Idea?

Reach for this book when your child feels overwhelmed by the weight of global issues or the looming pressure of a school assignment. While many books approach environmentalism with heavy handed seriousness, this story provides a necessary exhale through humor. It validates the anxiety children feel when asked to solve world problems they didn't create, while celebrating the quirky, out of the box thinking that defines childhood friendship. Parents will appreciate how it balances a real world topic like climate change with the delightful, low stakes mischief of second grade life. It is an ideal bridge for early readers moving into chapter books who need relatable characters and a good laugh to keep them engaged.
