Description

Learn about -- and join! -- the EARTH SQUAD: fifty inspirational and extraordinary environmental crusaders working to save our planet.

Earth Squad is the book activist kids have been searching for. Featuring vibrantly illustrated profiles and practical tips inspired by eco-warriors across the globe, it's an entertaining and inspiring resource for any reader -- of any age! -- who wants to make a difference in their community and their world.

Some members of the Earth Squad might be familiar (Greta Thunberg, Rachel Carson, Al Gore, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Angela Merkel, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez), while others will be new to most readers. Each and every one of them illustrates how one person can change the world, but also how we can accomplish so much more together. Whether you're a kid, a parent, or just a concerned citizen wondering who else is fighting the good fight, EARTH SQUAD is for you.

Critic Reviews

“Although the profiles are meant to pique curiosity, their real strength is in their breadth and diversity... For browsers, reluctant readers, and budding environmentalists alike.-- Booklist”

"This lively 'who's who' presents a diverse group of individuals who have made great strides in fighting climate change."
--The Horn Book
Highly recommended for any library, particularly in communities where climate science is especially relevant. Budding environmental activists will be inspired to take action.--School Library Journal
Although the profiles are meant to pique curiosity, their real strength is in their breadth and diversity... For browsers, reluctant readers, and budding environmentalists alike.--Booklist
[A] good introduction to inspire readers new to the cause.--Kirkus Reviews
