Knowledge is power. And
this is exactly what How to Make a Better World offers; knowledge and
power. For every kid who wants to make a difference, here’s the book to
reach for.
Listed under four chapters – You, Community, Humanity and Environment, are 38 subjects that contain a great deal of information children can utilise to build a planet conscious life.
Suggestions open with self-care of body and
mind which is vital. How-to ideas include kindness, paying it forward,
and recognising
and coping with changing emotions. The power of positive thinking, repeating
affirmations and nurturing belief in yourself, listening and being open to
others’ opinions – even when you disagree, will strengthen learning
foundations.
There are many building blocks available to enable
a rich life in this beautifully designed book, with its colourful and bold illustrations,
and larger text for easy reading.
It addresses ways of protecting the environment, our
oceans, green living, wildlife and habitats, saving energy, and how to reduce,
reuse, recycle amongst so much more.
Most difficult words are defined; words like
discrimination, prejudice, stereotypes and assumptions.
Famous protestors, musical artists that have drawn
attention to change, the dangers of fake news and what to look out for, and heroes
that stood up for our planet, are subjects that make an appearance.
This is a superb reference book, ideal for reading
at random, or from start to finish. A fantastic Find Out More listing
references organisations that readers can get ideas from. A rich Glossary and
Index are included.
