Activists Assemble--Save Your Planet by Ben Hoare
hopeful
informative
inspiring
4.5
Such a wonderful and surprisingly thorough overview of the major causes of climate change - with gorgeously colourful illustrations!
It's a very hopeful book, with the focus on things that people can do to make a difference, and I loved that there were so many suggestions for things children specifically could do, and I absolutely love the interactive section at the end, that has really specific prompts for children to think and research further.
I appreciated the profiles of individual activists too, and glad to see a variety of people from around the world, as well as your expected Greta Thunbergs and David Attenboroughs,
My only criticism might be that it feels a little numbers-heavy in places: e.g. 250 million tonnes of rubbish is pretty difficult to conceptualise, especially for a child!
