It doesn't matter who you are or where you live. Climate change is an important topic. While there are certainly more things I can do to be sustainable, like take shorter showers and eat more meatless meals, do these little things add up when billionaires decide space is their new playground? I'm not saying the regular people can't help out. I'm not going to stop recycling or anything. Just something to think about.

A diverse look into many ways climate change can be combatted from a wide variety of walks of life. Provided a cool overview of individuals fighting climate change that most of us don’t really think about when we think of the term “Climate Warriors”.

This is an interesting portrayal of scientists in a variety of fields who work to combat climate change. Many of these people started out with a problem they wanted to solve, and eventually found ways to make a career out of problem-solving. Some stumbled into the career, despite thinking they would study another course of action. I really enjoyed learning ways kids and adults can act as citizen scientists and help in their own way.

Climate change is a real threat to the planet and all the people on it. But there are people doing things to help, and so can each of us. This book assembles many who are committed to working in the area of climate change and it explained how those occupations contribute to the cause. Each of the problems is detailed and thoroughly explained in language you don't need a doctorate to understand (aimed at ages 9-14).

Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!

Kiddo listened, engrossed, as we read this at bedtime. Whenever I paused to see if he was ready to put the book down and sleep he would say "Why are you hesitating? Read another one." Which, to me, says he was definitely enjoying it.

It was great to read about what scientists from different disciplines are doing about climate change. There were many that you don't usually hear about, like economists. The text was written at a level my third grader could understand with minimal explanations and he definitely found it interesting.

I also really liked the "what you can do" sections at the end of each chapter, with suggestions for what individuals and children can do to help with fighting climate change. The whole book felt very empowering. It was very much "yes, this is a major problem and an urgent one, but there is still a chance to change things"

Kiddo says "I liked everything about it."

I would definitely recommend this to all upper-elementary school students. Maybe 3rd grade and up. And younger students who are interested in science and have the vocabulary and background to understand the text.

*Thanks to NetGalley and Millbrook Press for providing an early copy for review.

This will be a perfect addition to my activism unit. I liked the setup of the book as it explained the problem, what is being done, and how to get involved. There was a vast array of jobs held in the area of climate change and it explained how those occupations contribute to the cause.
