In today's (ahem) climate, it's *crucial* for young folks to understand and be aware of climate change — after all, it'll affect them in the future even more than it affects all of us now. But even adults can testify to the fact that it can be incredibly scary and pessimistic to even think about! Loach does an amazing job of approaching the topic with sensitivity and care, while never shying away from the important, objective facts.

This is a hopeful and engaging introduction to the climate crisis, and one that every young person should read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A book directed at children that teaches them about the climate crisis in the world, but also about why it is happening and other factors to blame like colonialism, capitalism, and more!

I thought Loach did a great job balancing the seriousness of this topic with hope and the ability to change. She also did a great job emphasizing that it is ok to be upset at this and ok to be afraid. She mentions multiple times that feelings are welcome. Even I got a little emotional reading the beginning where she highlights the negative changes that are happening in the world. I thought it was written so it would be easy for kids to understand (older elementary) but still had great delivery of content and ideas. Definitely would recommend for schools and parents!!
