As a former elementary school teacher, I was so excited to check out this book! The illustrations are beautiful and I love that the suggestions mentioned feel actionable for young readers! The layout was well-designed and very engaging and feel like it is very age-appropriate for upper elementary students.

I absolutely recommend this book as I think it presents complex information in a way that is perfect for young readers!

Thank you so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is a good resource to start going more sustainable with your family and children. It clearly explains things and gives great alternatives to things that are damaging to our earth. Or course not all these things are feasible for everyone so you can pick what works for you and go from there.

This is a great resource! This book did a great job of showing kids different ways they can live more sustainably. As a kid it's hard to hear that what we do hurts the Earth, but this book gave great ideas for how to counteract or make different choices - even when we're little! It also did a great job explaining why certain things are unsustainable. Overall, great book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

This book is a very important book for adults to give to children. Unfortunately, global warming and climate change are issues that children of today are going to have to be weary of in adulthood. That is why it is important to teach kids to reduce, reuse, recycle and just be sustainable and kind to our planet. It is best to teach these skills to children as young as possible and I think that this book does it in a fun way.

I have reported the issue to Instagram several times). I try to post on Instagram at least 3x a week. I post many NetGalley ARC books on Instagram, but I also enjoy talking about previously released books that I love. With the exception of NetGalley books, I enjoy both listening to and reading all the books I read.

An easy approachable guide for kids on how they can be more sustainable in their everyday life! I found this to be perfectly written for the target age group, 8-11, and it had a bunch of good tips and advice. I love that people are trying to teach kids about sustainability early on!
