About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child starts asking hard questions about climate change after seeing it on the news or learning about it in school. "Climate Crisis" offers a clear, science-based foundation for understanding global warming, explaining concepts like the greenhouse effect, fossil fuels, and the consequences of a warming planet. While the topic can be a source of anxiety, this book focuses on the facts, which can empower curious minds and foster a sense of responsibility. It's a great choice for upper elementary and middle school students who want to move beyond headlines and understand the "why" behind climate change, providing a solid base for further conversation and action.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's core topic, the climate crisis, can be a significant source of eco-anxiety for young readers. It deals with the potential for large-scale disaster and loss of life (human and animal). The approach is secular and scientific. The resolution is not a simple storybook ending; it is a realistic presentation of a global problem that requires collective action, which can be interpreted as either a hopeful call to action or a daunting responsibility.
