Description
A funny, practical book that, unlike most green guides for children, doesn’t only include fun facts and practical tasks but also takes a more holistic approach, helping readers develop an emotional connection with nature and think in terms of community.
As well as explaining environmental problems in ways children can easily understand, the book offers:
Real life stories of inspirational young people from around the world, such as Elizabeth Gadson, the ‘little litter picker’, school strike activist Greta Thunberg and Boyan Slat, the schoolboy inventor
Made up example stories – designed to demonstrate how children in particular can make a difference
Fun quizzes for children to check their own knowledge and attitudes
Jokes
Creative tasks as well as practical ones, to help children feel informed and motivated
Social skills children might use to encourage the adults around them to think about these issues too, without annoying them
The book will appeal to teachers, parents and youth leaders as well as children, because many of the tasks are fun for adults and children to do together and in groups.
