"Our World Out of Balance is 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 "Many of us are overwhelmed by climate change and not too sure of exactly what is happening to our Earth and why. Andrea Minglio and Laura Fanelli have given us a beautiful book that explains how many Earth systems work -- from farms to coral reefs. These are pages readers of every age will want to linger over, marveling at the illustrations and savoring highly understandable explanations of what to do for nature and how. Our World out of Balance above all celebrates the amazing gift of life on Earth and will inspire actions to save it." -- Mary Ellen Hannibal, Stanford Media Fellow and author of Citizen Scientist: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction, "This clear introduction to the whats and whys of environmental degradation balances sad facts with examples of what can and is being done. A solid pick . . . for its positive approach and breadth." --Kirkus Reviews "This impressive introduction to climate change will stimulate budding ecologists." -- Publishers Weekly "A great starting place to understand climate change and its effects." --Booklist "...An excellent reference book for helping children better understand specific aspects of climate change." --National Center for Science Education "Engaging....Minoglio's informative, concise text combines with Fanelli's striking full-color illustrations for a worthy introduction to this timely subject." --Horn Book "Our World Out of Balance is a wonderful introduction...Unlike so many other books about climate change, it does not traffic in fear.
