Stories in the news about natural disasters and climate change can be scary. That's why it's so important for kids to be able to discuss this topic, that's affecting us all, and understand the facts―and just the facts!
Packed with science, this book's chatty, engaging style will explain to readers exactly what's happening, why it's happening, and what we can all do to help protect our planet for the future.

  • Understand the science behind terms such as global warming, greenhouse gases, and renewable energy.
  • Let's love our whole planet and look at what people worldwide can do to help protect the place where we ALL live.
  • Discover the ways in which scientists, conservationists, and kids just like you are working hard to understand how our planet is changing and what can be done to protect wildlife and ecosystems.
The antidote to climate change anxiety is understanding what's going on (without the drama and fear) and being empowered to take daily positive actions to help care for our world.

Let's Talk Climate Change by Ruth Owen is a refreshing, anxiety-reducing guide that tackles a heavy topic with positivity and clear science.

Utilizing an intuitive Q&A format, it effortlessly breaks down greenhouse gases, shifting habitats, and renewable energy for young readers. Its absolute standout feature is a brilliant media-literacy spread that teaches children how to spot climate misinformation and evaluate data sources. By blending realistic photography with colorful layouts, it keeps kids visually engaged while empowering them to care for the planet.

The media literacy section misses a chance to separate accidental "misinformation" from intentional "disinformation." Additionally, the action steps focus almost entirely on individual, daily household habits. It misses a broader look at systemic, industrial, or legislative solutions that would appeal to older kids in the target age bracket.

Ultimately, this is a highly recommended resource for homes and elementary classrooms. It swaps climate dread for proactive inspiration, giving kids unfiltered scientific truths alongside practical ways to protect their world.
