My Dad, the Earth Warrior

Reach for this book when your child is starting to feel the sting of social comparison or experiencing that specific brand of middle-school mortification over a parent's quirky behavior. It is a perfect choice for kids who need to bridge the gap between their desire to fit in and their pride in their family's unique values. The story follows Hero, a young boy whose father undergoes a sudden transformation into an eco-warrior, complete with camouflage and a mission to save a local forest. While the humor is front and center, the heart of the book explores environmental stewardship and the bravery required to stand up for what is right, even when it is uncool. It is ideally suited for ages 8 to 12, offering a hilarious yet touching roadmap for navigating family embarrassment and finding one's own voice in the fight for the planet.
