Ruth Spiro does a great job of breaking down big concepts for young readers. the How to Explain___ to a Grown Up series is popular, and really flips the "adults know everything" mythos on its head.

I love how children are trusted with important information and treated with trust and respect in her books. I recommend this book for schools and libraries.

This is a very important book about the environment and climate science, an excellent tool for talking about significant matters and current events. This is a book for older kids, since it covers science and longer texts (I mean, it was a bit too much for my 5yo but I resorted to reading a few pages at a time with her, which seems to help).

Love this book. It's a children's book that's informative for kids and adults, where kids feel as though they get to teach adults about the effects of a warmer planet. I also love the tips in the book for reducing greenhouse gases and the glossary at the back of the book.

How to Explain Climate Science to a Grown-Up, written by Ruth Spiro and illustrated by Teresa Martinez, is a fantastic accessible book about the climate crisis for children. It features brilliant illustrations and easy to understand definitions of complex terms. It includes many pro tips, a glossary and ideas for how the reader can make a change to support the environment at home, at school and in the community.
I would recommend this book to 7-11 year olds. It is a must read for all children and a must have for the classroom.

This is like gentle parenting for people who believe climate change is not real 😂. I love it!
I'll be using this in an EFL classroom and therefore will be reading the book with students 10 years and older, probably more like 14 and up. I still believe there is a lot of use for that age group, especially the last two pages and the definitions throughout the story are valuable. The illustrations are also beautiful, which is always a plus with kids and teens!

Thanks to Charlesbridge and NetGalley for the digital copy of this book; I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I love this book! Instead of an adult explaining to a child, it’s a child explaining to an elder all about climate science, because I guarantee they didn’t learn about it in school. Along the way, the little person talks about all the terminology that is used today and exactly what that means for the earth and the people. This might be a great book to check out of the library and bring over to Grandma and Grandpa’s house, who tsk tsk at climate science and global warming and can explain in an easy-to-understand way.

Bonus points for the wonderful illustrations, which show the little kid wearing what looks to be a hearing aid of some sort. Representation matters!

THIS IS A REVOLUTION IN BOARD BOOKS PUBLISHING!

Yes, it’s high time to let the kids teach the adults about the environment and science we tend to neglect like we are not at all responsible!

The little boy is teaching a grown up he knows about the basic science of the environment: what’s the difference between weather and climate; how scientific observations are done and how long it takes; the basic phenomenon of light and heat and so much more!

The book is great! Adults need to calm down and act as students too because we have lots to learn from the youngsters too!

The illustration is so good! The dialogues are engaging and the entire content feels like a practical lesson for all.

Thank you, Charlesbridge, for the ARC.
