Trade Review“Simon’s presentation is distinguished by the leavening of each bit of bad news with examples of individual actions and steps that can be taken…[and] is interspersed with images and quotations from teen activists from around the world.” — Kirkus Reviews “Seymour Simon has written an engaging and inspirational book to help young readers understand climate science, the impacts of climate change on our society, and their role in advancing positive change for the planet and all its inhabitants. Climate Action centers youth activists from diverse backgrounds as the climate leaders of today.” — Na'Taki Osborne Jelks, Ph.D., Environmental & Health Sciences at Spelman College “These are heavy topics, but nearly each one ends with steps the reader can take to help...and solutions scientists and engineers are currently working on. A comprehensive overview of a global crisis underscored by urgency and hope." — Booklist “A timely work that makes use of bright pages and accessible tips to engage students and motivate them to enact change in their communities. This title is useful for environmental science courses and could also be implemented in biology courses during units on the carbon cycle or environmental change." — School Library Journal "Informative but easy-to-understand sections detailing how humans are causing the [climate] crisis are immediately followed by ways in which readers can be part of the solution. Peppered throughout are features of notable youth activists...A straightforward yet cogent primer." — Publishers Weekly
