Learning about climate change can arouse all kinds of feelings, but there are ways to cope with them and to use them productively... Includes numerous exercises designed to help kids recognize their feelings and 'build emotional resilience'... Concepts like eco-grief, systemic racism, negativity bias, and window of tolerance are set in boldface and defined both in context and in a helpful glossary...An interesting and unusual approach to eco-awareness for tweens and teens.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
A cross between an emotional support workbook and a climate change science primer... For students interested in environmental issues and climate change, as well as the emotions that these topics stir up, this may be just the book they need. Some of the exercises included are aimed at helping kids reflect on grief, gratitude, and empathy; they also encourage kids to pause to reflect, breathe, and spend time outdoors.-- "School Library Journal"
