Kids today are experiencing the climate crisis firsthand. Camp canceled because of wildfire smoke. Favorite beaches closed due to erosion. Recess held indoors due to extreme heat. How do parents help their children make sense of it all? And how can we keep our kids (and ourselves) from despair?
Environmental journalist and parent Bridget Shirvell has created a handbook for parents to help them navigate these questions and more, weaving together expert advice from climate scientists, environmental activists, child psychologists, and parents across the country. She helps parents answer tough questions (how did we get here?) and raise kids who feel connected to and responsible for the natural world, feel motivated to make ecologically sound choices, and feel empowered to meet the challenges of the climate crisis—and to ultimately fight for change.

"This sympathetic guide offers suggestions for starting conversations and modeling accessible vocabulary and also provides helpful definitions and background information (efforts to mitigate greenhouse gases go back as far as 1855)… The solution-oriented final chapters offer additional realistic advice for reducing carbon footprints, incorporating STEM awareness, participating in community activism, and more, along with considerable helpings of reassurance and hope. Shirvell is an environmentalist and widely published journalist, but this timely, accessible, and important account is written, first and foremost, by a parent, for parents."Booklist
