I could see this book used in a later elementary classroom where the book is read as a read aloud and then students choose a topic from the book that they want to complete a project and presentation on. That way, it is a topic they are interested in and also they can share their research with their peers.

Our current president has made some advances to implement a “Green New Deal” through the IRA and BIL legislation. I hope these efforts start to make a difference.
