Encouraging, accessible, and easily digestible, this comprehensive, illustrated nonfiction guide introduces children ages eight to twelve to the important topic of climate change-with tips on "How You Can Help" and citizen scientist activities.
"Our World Out of Balanceis a wonderful introduction to climate change and other global environmental challenges for children. Unlike so many other books about climate change, it does not traffic in fear. Instead, it presents the facts and shows what young people can do to help build a cleaner, safer and more equitable future for the planet." -Simon Donner, Professor, Climate Scientist, University of British Columbia .
Filled with engaging big ideas that will inspire children to think about their role in keeping our world healthy, Our World Out of Balance details how humans have thrown the planet off-balance andways we can work together to be part of the solution and create a healthier world.
While the book covers some complex subjects, it also shares a sense of hope and many of the positive developments that have come from environmental initiatives, like reforestation and innovative recycling programs.Featuring brave scientists, young activists, and many groups working collectively to protect our future,Our World Out of Balancewill leave readers feeling empowered and inspired.
Each chapter pairs brightly colored illustrations with easily graspable scientific facts and statistics and ends with tips on "How You Can Help" as an individual¿even at a young age!

From there, children learn about the causes behind each phenomenon and what we all can do to intervene and bring balance back to our home planet.
The easy-to-follow "Before" and "After" segments help children understand complex topics like:
-Air pollution
