Book excerpt: A beautiful ode to our planet and a clarion call to protect it. The perfect introduction to climate change for the youngest readers. Our planet seems tough, but it is fragile. Our planet seems big, but it needs us. Spare, lyrical text and exquisite illustrations show how seemingly small and insignificant changes -- from carbon molecules that become pollutants, to one degree on a thermometer, to one person's actions -- when multiplied, can have ripple effects that endanger the lives of all creatures on earth. Fortunately, the choices we make have an impact, too, and our collective actions, multiplied together, can change our planet and our world for the better. Two-time Newbery Award honoree, Sibert Award honoree, and former science educator, Christina Soontornvat creates a stunning tribute to our planet illuminating with clarity and hope the causes of climate change as well as hands-on solutions that will edify and empower even the youngest readers. Rahele Jomepour Bell infuses her pictures with jaw-dropping explosions of color on every page, and invites readers to follow the storylines of several families as she celebrates the breathtaking beauty of our planet. Clear, informative end notes answer a myriad of questions in simple language, and cite irrefutable sources. A treasure for anyone looking to help children understand the natural world, foster responsibility and stewardship, and inspire budding young climate activists.
