Description
Who do you think of when you imagine a climate scientist? Maybe a biologist? Or a chemist? But economists study the climate too!
Meet fourteen different scientists who are working to solve the climate crisis and the surprising ways they are doing it. Along with explanations of different areas of science and the many ways scientists are working to save the climate, readers will find tips for how they too can work for change. Climate Warriors informs young readers and gives them the tools they need to make a difference.
Author and neuroscientist Laura Gehl introduces readers to these incredible scientists, the projects they are working on, and what inspired them to choose their fields of study. From ecology to civil engineering, computer modeling to food science, we have lots of ways to combat climate change. Along with explanations of different areas of science and climate solutions, find out what you can do to make a difference.

Climate change is a real threat to the planet and all the people on it. But there are people doing things to help, and so can each of us. This book assembles many who are committed to working in the area of climate change and it explained how those occupations contribute to the cause. Each of the problems is detailed and thoroughly explained in language you don't need a doctorate to understand (aimed at ages 9-14).
Be empowered! Become an activist!
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!

Kiddo listened, engrossed, as we read this at bedtime. Whenever I paused to see if he was ready to put the book down and sleep he would say "Why are you hesitating? Read another one." Which, to me, says he was definitely enjoying it.
It was great to read about what scientists from different disciplines are doing about climate change. There were many that you don't usually hear about, like economists. The text was written at a level my third grader could understand with minimal explanations and he definitely found it interesting.
I also really liked the "what you can do" sections at the end of each chapter, with suggestions for what individuals and children can do to help with fighting climate change. The whole book felt very empowering. It was very much "yes, this is a major problem and an urgent one, but there is still a chance to change things"
Kiddo says "I liked everything about it."
I would definitely recommend this to all upper-elementary school students. Maybe 3rd grade and up. And younger students who are interested in science and have the vocabulary and background to understand the text.
*Thanks to NetGalley and Millbrook Press for providing an early copy for review.
