A Hot Planet Needs Cool Kids: Understanding Climate Change and What You Can Do About It

When I was teaching fifth-grade science in the late 1980s, we didn’t talk about climate change. But had the topic been part of our curriculum, as it surely is today, this book would have been in high demand.

The text is accessible for most middle school students, but not insulting to older readers. And helpful graphics add to the readers’ understanding of complex topics. Even though the book is targeted or kids, they may have to arm wrestle their parents to gain custody. It’s that interesting.

If you love a kid (or adult) who wants to learn the basics of climate change in the context of positive actions that can help save our planet, get them this book. They’ll easily find something to intrigue them, to use for school reports, and to inspire their curiosity.
