Kids all around the world are doing something every day to change the
world. Here are the stories of 45 of them.
Whether it's in United States or Canada, Russia or Australia, China or
Argentina, there are young people working hard to make the world a
better place. They are schoolgirls trying to save the last bogs and wild
pods in Hungary. Schoolboys trying to preserve marine biology in
Madagascar or plant trees to reverse the effects of climate change. The
45 young heroes featured in this book have discovered issues that
concerned them and they they did something about it.
With skills ranging from singing, drawing, and painting to fund-raising,
public demonstrations, and events, these are the stories of individuals
who have fought climate change and pollution, and worked to protect
animals and their natural habitats. While the stories alone are
compelling, they are also accompanied by stunning and dynamic
photographs from Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
This inspiring and powerful book includes reference materials and
suggestions on how you can get involved and become an environmental
hero, too!
Praise for Kids Who Are Changing the World
This is a very inspiring non-fiction book... it shares stories about
young people who are doing incredible things to make the environment a
better place. -- San Francisco Book Review
It's impressive to see the variety of kids that author Anne
Jankeliowitch features: children -- some still in grade school, some in
non-traditional learning environments -- who saw a need and acted upon
it, proving there is no age or ability limit to make a difference... and
when you add in photography by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, you've got a
hopeful, optimistic winner to read. -- Bookworm Sez
