The Future of the Earth: An Introduction to Sustainable Development for Young Readers

Tune kids into the world around them with this first look at eco-issues

Given that our kids are the ones who’ll inherit it, we’re surprised there aren’t many good kids’ books about the Earth. Author Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s primer on sustainability explains the issues in simple terms and fills that gap beautifully. From global trends and invasive species to climate change and economic disparity, it’s poignant without being scary, filled with spectacular photos, and just the thing to inspire a new generation of active stewards. Ages 8-12. 76 pages, hardcover. USA.
