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.
