Incendiary book explains climate change to tweens and teens and invites you to climate activism. I strongly recommend this book to Adults who want to learn what you need to so you can create some climate activism too! If you read only one climate book this year, this is the one! This book by Naomi Klein (with assistance in getting it right for kids by Rebecca Stefoff) is maybe the best climate book I have ever read. Klein and Stefoff are an incredible pair. I really like that Klein found a kids science book & young people’s edition expert and PhD to help her tailor her information younger. It is akin to Kendi tapping Reynolds for Stamped. What will you learn if you read this book? For example, do you know why Republicans changed from climate champions to climate deniers? Did you know that 1988 was the first year that Congress heard a clear statement about climate change being human-caused? Do you know the problems with geoengineering as an effort to reduce climate change? My favorite part of this book is meeting many young global climate activists!
“The more sparks the fire has the brighter it will burn. I invite you to add your spark. Are you ready to change everything?” Naomi Klein
