I want to give it 5 stars because of the subject but I can’t。 It didn’t deliver all the way， I expected a bit more of it？The illustrations are beautiful， it is a good way to inspire kids but it doesn’t explain as much as it could the “why”。 Kids already need to have insight about the climate problem， co2， etc。 Not all kids do， of course， it would have helped to give a bit more background info in my opinion。Other than that; great ！

When you hear of young climate activists， your mind may go to well known activists like Greta Thunberg。 But there are children across the globe， just like our children， who are taking action against climate change。Old Enough To Save The Planet by Loll Kirby introduces us to twelve young climate activists， and highlights the actions they are taking to make change in their community。From New York to Australia， these young children are making huge changes like reducing the effects of traffic pollut When you hear of young climate activists， your mind may go to well known activists like Greta Thunberg。 But there are children across the globe， just like our children， who are taking action against climate change。Old Enough To Save The Planet by Loll Kirby introduces us to twelve young climate activists， and highlights the actions they are taking to make change in their community。From New York to Australia， these young children are making huge changes like reducing the effects of traffic pollution， diverting food waste from landfills， and reducing litter pollution。I love that Old Enough To Save The Planet gives specific examples of different elements affecting climate change， like littering and deforestation， as well as specific ways to address many of those issues。 Sometimes， I feel like children’s books about climate change add anxiety for children when they describe the problems facing our planet， but this one is written with so much hope and encouragement that it doesn’t feel overwhelming。The beautiful illustrations by Adelina Lirius capture the beauty of nature， as well as the diversity of our communities， providing a great visual of how we can all work together to save the the planet that we all shareTo further assist young readers in making a difference， the back of the book has several empowering ideas， including a list of ten ways young readers can help save the planet， ten ways to make their voice heard， and resources for further reading。I would like to thank Abrams Young Readers and Magic Cat Publishing for providing me with a review copy of such a wonderful book。Blog | Instagram | Facebook | Goodreads | Storygraph 。。。more

Goed geïllustreerd， de afbeeldingen laten alles zien waar de tekst over gaat。 Het is bijna niet nodig om te lezen。 Het is een positief boek om aan kinderen te laten zien wat je zelf kan doen voor de aarde en het milieu。 Het is niet echt een voorlees boek， de teksten zijn daarvoor te kort en te “informatief” geschreven。 De manier waarom de informatie wordt overgebracht komt wat kil en onpersoonlijk over。

If you can't tell by now， I love children's books with beautiful pictures。 Pictures add so much to stories through meaning and interpretation and so many children find detailed pictures like these very engaging。 Climate change and learning how to protect our planet has become very prevalent in the last few years and many children feel very passionately about saving the planet。 This book inspires and empowers children to feel that they can make a difference， even if they feel they are too young。 If you can't tell by now， I love children's books with beautiful pictures。 Pictures add so much to stories through meaning and interpretation and so many children find detailed pictures like these very engaging。 Climate change and learning how to protect our planet has become very prevalent in the last few years and many children feel very passionately about saving the planet。 This book inspires and empowers children to feel that they can make a difference， even if they feel they are too young。 This book also has amazing teaching opportunities， could be used for science lessons when learning about deforestation or pollution。 It could also be used as a stimulus for English to write letters to world-leaders asking them to act on Climate change。 。。。more

This was a beautifully illustrated book creating a call to action to care for our planet。 This book follows twelve young activists who are carding for our planet and making huge impacts。 This book teaches where we can start to make a positive change to the way we care for the environment as well as no matter how old you are you have a powerful voice。

Un libro ideal para trabajar con los más pequeños esas pequeñas acciones que pueden llevar a cabo para proteger su planeta。 Es un toque de atención en todo lo que pueden llegar a conseguir mediante pequeñas acciones y un gran paso para convertirlos en pequeños activistas。

September 20， 2020 Such great art。 Each page is filled with all the shades of green and with all the ugliness that pollution is bringing to this beautiful world。 It's so visually direct that the few lines written on every sheet of this picture book resonates the same message with more and more voice: 'the young are old enough to save the planet'。 Also， there's some diversity being projected through different countries being portrayed， including India， and that's something I do appreciate。 Digita September 20， 2020 Such great art。 Each page is filled with all the shades of green and with all the ugliness that pollution is bringing to this beautiful world。 It's so visually direct that the few lines written on every sheet of this picture book resonates the same message with more and more voice: 'the young are old enough to save the planet'。 Also， there's some diversity being projected through different countries being portrayed， including India， and that's something I do appreciate。 Digital review copy via Edelweiss。 。。。more

"Du musst nicht bis morgen warten。 Du bist stark， wichtig und schlau。 Du kannst heute beginnen" Diese wichtige Botschaft an Kinder findet sich gleich im Vorwort des Buches "Gross genug， die Welt zu retten" von Loll Kirby und Adelina Lirius。Das Buch erzählt von 12 Kindern aus der ganzen Welt， die sich für Umweltschutz， Natur und den Erhalt unseres Planeten einsetzen。 Dabei wird jedes Kind mit seiner Idee auf einer wunderschön illustrierten Doppelseite vorgestellt。Die Illustrationen sind für mich "Du musst nicht bis morgen warten。 Du bist stark， wichtig und schlau。 Du kannst heute beginnen" Diese wichtige Botschaft an Kinder findet sich gleich im Vorwort des Buches "Gross genug， die Welt zu retten" von Loll Kirby und Adelina Lirius。Das Buch erzählt von 12 Kindern aus der ganzen Welt， die sich für Umweltschutz， Natur und den Erhalt unseres Planeten einsetzen。 Dabei wird jedes Kind mit seiner Idee auf einer wunderschön illustrierten Doppelseite vorgestellt。Die Illustrationen sind für mich einer der großen Pluspunkte dieses Buches。 Sie sind sehr detailreich und ansprechend gestaltet。 Generell ist das Buch sehr liebevoll und hochwertig gestaltet， mit einem hübschen Cover mit Prägung。 Auch das Umschlagpapier ist mit Illustrationen versehen。 Solche kleine Details sprechen mich sehr an。Inhaltlich gefällt mir sehr， dass die Auswahl der Kinder eine große Diversität darstellt。 Es sind Kinder mit unterschiedlichen Hautfarben und auch Kinder mit Rollstuhl abgebildet。Auf jeder Doppelseite wird kurz das Kind， das Land und das entsprechende Ziel vorgestellt und dann kurz erklärt， um welches Problem es sich handelt und welche Idee bzw。 welchen Lösungsansatz das Kind hat。 Ich war erst skeptisch， ob das Buch für meinen 3jährigen Sohn zu komplex ist。 Auch wenn er noch nicht alle der Themen zu 100% versteht， findet er das Buch grundsätzlich sehr interessant。 Auf den Seiten ist soviel zu entdecken， dass wir bei einem Mal vorlesen meist nur ca。 3 Doppelseiten schaffen。 Die Seiten regen also auf jeden Fall Gespräche zum Thema Umweltschutz an。 Ich denke das Buch wird auch in den kommenden Jahren noch spannend sein。Ein kleiner Minuspunkt ist für mich die Schriftgröße der kleinen erklärenden Texte， die noch auf den Illustrationen abgebildet sind。 Sie sind bei etwas schummerigem Licht （wie z。B。 abends beim Vorlesen） nicht ganz so gut zu erkennen。Insgesamt finde ich das Buch sehr gelungen。 Es vermittelt die wichtige Botschaft， dass jeder einen Unterschied machen kann und bietet einen schönen Einstieg ins Thema Umweltschutz， ohne dabei mit zu vielen Informationen zu erschlagen。 。。。more

Fantastic， inspirational book to engage and inspire children to be active in making a difference。 This tells the story of 12 children who had ideas， put them into action and made a difference。 There are beautiful， detailed illustrations and a liberal sprinkling of facts throughout as well。

Kirby’s picture book is the perfect starting point for any child or young person who is driven by the need to do something about the direction the world is heading。 Through the profiles of 12 kids， Kirby shows the reader how the smallest actions can begin to make big changes。There are two particular elements of this non-fiction picture book that resonate deeply with me。 The first is the facts that are peppered throughout each of the double page spreads。 The second is the incredibly detailed and Kirby’s picture book is the perfect starting point for any child or young person who is driven by the need to do something about the direction the world is heading。 Through the profiles of 12 kids， Kirby shows the reader how the smallest actions can begin to make big changes。There are two particular elements of this non-fiction picture book that resonate deeply with me。 The first is the facts that are peppered throughout each of the double page spreads。 The second is the incredibly detailed and rich vibrant colours of the illustrations。 The combination of the two makes for this call-to-arms to be accessible and non-intrusive。Thank you @walkerbooksaus for gifting me a copy to read and review！ 。。。more
