Produktbeschreibung

From a former editor at American Girl Magazine comes the first of two hopeful, illustrated guides to the natural world that aim to empower the next generation of young climate activists and nature lovers to protect the world's habitats. Climate change will be a defining issue facing Generations Z and Alpha--but research shows that awe is a more powerful motivator for action than fear. With that idea in mind, this handbook is a hope-filled, awe-provoking middle-grade guide to environmental stewardship and the diverse habitats we call home. By inspiring readers with real stories and wonders from the natural world, this book aims to empower the next generation of conservationists and outdoor explorers. In its pages, readers will find inspiration, actionable advice, and diverse tales of adventure and hope about people who had incredible encounters with nature and then did something about it. Readers are encouraged to discover that no matter where they live or how they choose to engage with nature, they have the significant ability to act on its behalf. Featuring stories of environmental stewardship, creative activities to engage with the natural world, and real stories of inspiring outdoor adventurers, scientists, and artists, this book will explore the world's varied habitats and how to preserve, appreciate, and celebrate them.
