Condor Comeback

Reach for this book when your child expresses anxiety about the environment or feels overwhelmed by news of climate change and extinction. It serves as a powerful antidote to 'eco-anxiety' by providing a concrete, successful example of how human intervention and scientific dedication can bring a species back from the very brink of disappearance. Sy Montgomery takes readers into the field to meet the biologists and the birds themselves, turning a tragic statistic into a thrilling story of hope. While the subject is serious, the focus is on resilience, teamwork, and the remarkable bond between humans and the natural world. It is a sophisticated, visually stunning choice for middle-schoolers who are ready to engage with real-world conservation challenges through a lens of optimism and active problem-solving.
