Inspired to create a healthy climate for her sons, Gabriel and Lucas (and the rest of the world’s children), author Daniele Horton introduces us to young friends who discover that together anything is possible. Even saving Earth. This book teaches the scientific facts about climate change in terms kids can understand, with gorgeous engaging illustrations. It's recommended for children from about 5 to 10 years old. The book is meant to clearly convey both the information, while offering a message of hope and possibility that there are simple effective local actions which can be taken, and time left for kids to partake. It's encouraged that parents and adults support the kids in environment-friendly actions. The book is divided into four main sections - The kids see and are saddened that our beautiful planet is sick - Despite the adults having limited time to help the kids research the scientific facts about the ailing planet which has been choking and polluted since the Industrial Revolution - The kids come up with a plan together for local ACTION including trash clean-up, installing solar panels & rain barrels, planting gardens, changing to LED lightbulbs, etc. to help - The kids share the campaign with other concerned children from around the world, together making collective global impact and earning positive acknowledgement for doing the right thing to help our shared planet But more than a book, it's a GLOBAL MOVEMENT where kids worldwide can submit their photos and stories using #EarthsClimateHeroes, and we'll be publishing a live dynamic online interactive map highlighting these young activist and heroes.

Climate Heroes is highly recommended for any book collection for young readers ages 5—10 strong in environmental and recycling topics, presenting a message on ways all of us can make a difference. It opens with a history of the Earth in which animals and humans live in beautiful harmony with the environment. As time passes and relationships change, Earth develops a fever (global warming), and a group of environmentally-conscious compassionate kids decide to investigate the situation to try to help it heal. As the diverse group of concerned young citizens contemplates the problem, they feel empowered by joining together: "If we can fix the climate, everyone will feel better and be healthier," said Isabella. "We would need superheroes for that," Gabriel responded. "Are you kidding?" exclaimed Lucas. "We are the superheroes! We can be Climate Heroes!" "YEAH!!!" they all shouted together." These hopeful young people try to engage parents and adults to find a solution, but ultimately decide to use the power of library research, cooperative thinking, and action amongst themselves to make a difference in their own communities and—in doing so—inspire others around the world. Each day, many of us ask, "can kids truly make a difference?" Earth's Climate Heroes emphatically says "yes," reinforcing this message by illustrating a series of ways in which these self-appointed 'Climate Heroes' contribute their skills and efforts towards positively changing the world. In addition to providing basic, age-appropriate facts on climate change (a critical topic which seems absent from the majority of school curriculums), Earth's Climate Heroes successfully reinforces the idea that kids can be proactive and empowered in their responses to a situation that appears to stymie the adults around them. The children in the book harness the power of good research and scientific investigation combined with on-the-ground action with "huge hearts and bold costumes" to successfully get the word out about what kids can do to become Earth's Climate Heroes. The story itself is supplemented by a glossary of terms to support general climate and environmental literacy. Plus, a helpful action guide titled "How Can You Become An Earth's Climate Hero?" provides ways that each kid—regardless of their age or background—can take action to help improve the world. Adults looking for messages kids can pick up and run with will find Earth's Climate Heroes a powerful example of how to reinforce activism and science-based learning, allowing kids to truly make a difference - not just individually or as a neighborhood, but as members of the diverse global community. Verdani's founder started working on this book with her young children in 2016. While trying to explain climate change to them, she realized the need for a book to help kids understand what was happening to the envi
