How to Make a Better World

THIS WAS SOOOO CUTE! This is an amazing children's book all about the ways in which one can create a better world, even on the smallest level. There are chapters on self care, community, humanity, and the environment. The illustrations are so adorable and incredibly diverse. I loved that the first chapter focused on self care and home life and stated that in order to care for others or the world, you first have to start with taking care of yourself. The importance on loving yourself and understanding your emotions was an incredible addition. I loved the proper definitions throughout the book and the glossary at the end that could help children understand main, but possibly difficult, concepts. I also loved that throughout every chapter, there was a friendly reminder that no one is perfect and that it's okay to fail. Overall, I just loved this book. I would LOVE for the young kiddos in my life to have a hard copy of this. I think it was just fantastic all around and inspired even me to take more initiative towards making the world a better place.

As adults, we are very aware of the many issues in the world. From politics to climate change, from bullying to plastics, there are so many areas that stress us. That stress can easily be passed on to kids.

How to Make a Better World offers an optimistic alternative for children by empowering them to make a difference. There are so many suggestions and roadmaps for what can be done in this book. Divided into sections on You, Community, Environment and more, the book helps children to look at what they might like to achieve. The author starts with one's self stressing the need for good care, mindfulness, sleep, etc. Then the author moves out to things to do in the world from how to be a good friend to writing to elected officials and to going on a protest march, to name just a few. Brightly illustrated with inclusive art, the pages of the book are quite appealing. All in all, this is an inspiring book for elementary school aged children.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this title in exchange for an honest review.

A colorful and cheerful book encouraging kindness in children. The first chapter is about self-kindness, because "the power to make a better world begins inside YOU". It goes on to sections including environment and community activism. Information is presented in bright graphics, making for eye-catching reading. I liked the
examples of kids who have made a difference and the ways every kid can do the same (from being a good friend to starting a Little Free Library!). This book is informative without being depressing and I walked away from it feeling super-inspired!

This book is so great. How to Make a Better World shows kids how to start by loving themselves and learning how to deal with their emotions and hits on major topics like the environment, discrimination, and rights.

I not only WANT the physical copy of this book but NEED it. The relevance and information provided is so powerful and presented so beautifully. This is like a guide book for kids. I love it.
