Review :
Packed with ideas to help young readers become green superheroes from big projects, such as making a wildlife pond to smaller life changes such as brushing with a bamboo toothbrush.
"...more than simply another list of ways to save the planet. In conversational text, Jordan encourages young readers to become “Green Superheroes” by learning about and engaging with nature. Accompanied by brightly colored digital art, his 100 suggestions incorporate this theme, beginning with a footprint, to symbolize one’s carbon footprint, which can also be used to keep track of each accomplishment. The remaining activities can be completed in any order and range from investigation (learning about one new tree or minibeast—spider, millipede, snail—a day for several days) to lifestyle changes (starting a carpool posse with classmates and friends or learning how to read labels for sustainable products). Many, however, involve direct interaction with nature, such as taking an evening moth safari, making wildlife watering holes, and harvesting a sunflower for food for birds or even oneself. In addition, an international section introduces sustainable practices and examples from around the world. Concluding tips and resources top off this hands-on environmental guide.
