About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts expressing concern about 'the planet' or notices extreme weather events on the news and asks what they can do to help. This clear and accessible guide translates complex environmental science into understandable concepts for young readers, focusing on the greenhouse effect, habitat changes, and renewable energy. It acknowledges the gravity of climate change but keeps the tone empowering and hopeful rather than alarmist. By modeling specific, manageable actions children can take in their own homes, it transforms environmental anxiety into a sense of agency and stewardship. It is an ideal bridge for children moving into independent reading who want to understand their role in the wider world.
