I would use this book with mid to upper elementary students to have discussions about what global climate change is, how it impacts us and our world, how others are trying to combat it, and how we can do things to help the world too. I would use this book to expose students to issues and ideas they may have never heard of before and open their eyes to the way that they can make a positive impact or change just by doing the smallest things.

This book is an amazing collection of poetry that tell the stories of young people all over the world and their efforts to fight global climate change and promote environmental justice. The book uses moving illustrations that depict who the young person is and what their efforts consist of. Using the rhyme and rhythm aspects of poetry is an effective and engaging way to present important information to young students.
