About this title

Synopsis

Learn about the importance of climate and weather, as well as problems—and solutions—associated with climate change, in this essential children’s book.

Become a young climatologist, take care of our planet, and make a positive difference!

Our Earth is truly an amazing planet. Its well-balanced climate provides fresh water, clean air, comfortable temperatures, healthy food, and safe places to live. But that climate is falling out of balance. Find out what’s going wrong and what we can do to fix it! Debut author Ian Hunt is an expert in the field and an advocate of environmental education and activism. Here, he presents an introduction to climatology (or climate science) in this easy-to-understand guide.

Begin by learning about the atmosphere, as well as the basics of the carbon cycle and the greenhouse effect. That’s followed by a look at how climate change is measured and how it affects plants, animals, and the environment. A section on causes and solutions introduces different sources of energy, from oil to solar, with suggestions on how improvements can be made in the areas of industry, transportation, and waste.

The book ends on an uplifting, empowering note with a “What Can I Do?” chapter that offers reasons for optimism, small steps to take every day, and 8 impactful activities for families and classrooms: calculating energy use, taking a climate survey, starting a community garden, and more. This kid-friendly guide is filled with full-color photographs and illustrations. It’s engaging and informative as it starts children on a path toward building a better Earth!

Inside You’ll Find
