To Change a Planet
To Change a Planet | Christina Soontornvat
2 posts | 2 read
One person. Small, quiet, insignificant. But when one person, and one person, and one person become many, they can change a planet. Spare, poetic text and breathtaking pictures invite readers on a stirring journey that gently illuminates the causes of climate change as well as how our individual and collective actions can make the world better. With calm, truthfulness, and beauty, To Change a Planet demonstrates the importance of caring for our planet. Eye popping explosions of color on every page create a stunning visual narrative that invites readers to find and follow the same characters through their daily lives and ultimately to a climate march on Washington, where their storylines converge. Clear endnotes vetted by a climate expert answer a myriad of questions in simple language. Meticulously researched and brimming with hope and hands-on solutions that will edify and empower even the youngest readers, To Change a Planet is a loving ode to our only home and vital for every child, classroom, and family. * "Earth's beauty and fragility provide the impetus for activism in this introduction to climate change...An attractive entree to a vital subject for the youngest citizens." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "The book's overall tone is hopeful, centered around the conviction that, just as we can exacerbate the effects of climate change, so too can we forestall and reverse them." - School Library Journal "Has the potential to inspire all." - Shelf Awarenes

#BookBinge Day 30: It will be a #Disaster if we do not do anything to save our planet. While others may argue that the overall message seems simplistic and too ideal, I think ultimately the goal is to empower people to come together to make a change. My full review of this lovely picturebook: https://wp.me/pDlzr-pDC

Eggs I think I‘d be deliriously happy if people just stopped throwing cig butts and other trash out the car windows, and stopped defiling public areas 😌🙁 2y

This book shows how small things can damage our earth. One small, insignificant molecule of carbon dioxide, when put together, does this. The same goes for fixing the planet. One person may seem small, yet when many get together they make a big impact. I love the art style being simple yet powerful. Showing polar bears on a slab of melting ice, flood kicking out families, coral reef overheating… but also how one person can start it all #children
