Dramatic illustrations of climate tragedies, grassroot protests, and visions of what the world could be with climate action illuminate the words of Friedman's song. I would recommend this for young readers and families looking for a book about the power of people-led movements.

Please note that the text against dark colored illustrations is extremely hard to read.

i think this is great for 1st graders to understand the climate changes and seeing people not only take care of our world (the usual books depict recycling etc.) but to have voices and stand up for what matters
the pictures are beautiful and captivating
my daughter in preschool kept repeating 'the tide is rising and so are we' when i read it to her but it did go over her head.. i think first grades would be the perfect audience as it depicts current events

Ein schönes Bilderbuch zum Thema Klimakatastrophe und Gemeinschaft.

Unverschönt wird angesprochen, welche Veränderungen und Zerstörungen in der Welt passieren und vom Mensch gemacht sind. Diese werden jedoch immer wieder auch verbunden mit bestärkenden Aussagen zu den Fähigkeiten und vor allem der Rechte von Menschen.

This book is a call to all environmentalists who care about our earth. The book is a celebration of the song "The Tide is Rising" by Rabbi Shoshana Meira Friedman. Words from the song are used throughout the book to encourage all of us that "The Tide is Rising, and so are we. And this is where we are called to be." This book reminds us that the planet is speaking to us, and we should listen. Using the link to the song found at the end of the book is a great way to bring the book and the song together. Beautiful, vibrant illustrations add to the important message that is shared throughout the book.

Honest yet hopeful, The Tide Is Rising, So Are We! serves as a great introduction to the climate movement for kiddos. With vibrant illustrations throughout, this book helps the reader to not only visualize our world as a whole, but to see the many changes - good and bad - happening as a result of the climate crisis. It's not too dire or stressful, but also not too sugarcoated. Perhaps most importantly, it beautifully shows the power of many against seemingly insurmountable (at first!) odds.

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