Description
Do you ever worry about the environment? Do you wish you could help make things better? The environmental activists profiled in this book do that every day. One eleven-year-old sold drawings of birds to raise money to help clean up an oil spill. A poet presented her writing against nuclear testing and rising sea levels to the United Nations. One activist coordinated murals and street theater to make people aware of health problems caused by local power plants. And a journalist wrote about the process of raising, processing, and selling beef, which changed how some meat is processed. Explore the stories of these inspiring kids and adults, and learn how to start making a difference yourself. Anyone can change the world!

Gr 4-7-A bright launching pad for tweens looking for social justice causes and accompanying role models. Titles open with an introduction to activism related to the topic and move on to profile a number of kids, teens, and adults who have created lasting change. Readers will meet young people like Joshua Wong, who at 15 organized a 120,000-person protest in response to the Chinese government's interference in Hong Kong's education system. Featuring a diverse mix of age ranges, nationalities, genders, and ethnicities of those profiled, this series is a winner for collections in need of quality, inspirational materials on contemporary activists.

Grades 4-7 One doesn't need to be a celebrity or of age to vote to be an activist. These titles in the Who's Changing the World? series show that it just takes a willingness to change and a commitment to act. Each book divides chapters into related, timely concerns with short profiles of kid, teen, and adult activists in the U.S. and around the world. They include well-known scientists and television stars, such as Jane Goodall and Jazz Jennings, but the majority are everyday heroes. Taking Action to Help the Environment addresses wildlife protection, climate change, clean energy, and safer food, including efforts to reduce dolphin hunting and stand up for small-scale farmers. Informative and inspirational for any reader.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
