What Others Are Saying about The New Book

Win a Free Copy

We’re excited to announce the publication of our newest book.  Teaching Kids about Climate Change. You can take advantage of our incentives:

• See below for multiple copy discounts
• the third purchaser from each province and state will receive their copy for free.  Click here for details.

To help educators tackle this essential but challenging topic with K-8 students, this new book includes 20 age-appropriate activities that can be undertaken at home, in school classrooms, outdoor spaces and in the community.  Within the 80 pages of this large format paperback, you will find many useful pathways to guide young people towards an understanding of this complex topic.

Developed by educators from across North America, the collection includes activities that introduce basic concepts of climate literacy, such as energy forms, urban heat islands, and the difference between weather and climate.  Walking school buses, green commuting challenges and public transit investigations are a few of the transport-related activities.  Building model solar cars and solar cookers and studying passive solar house design are a few of the energy-oriented activities included in the book.

Rather than overwhelm young people with the daunting challenges facing humanity, the book’s focus is to help them to appreciate the many solutions that individuals, organizations and governments are already implementing to mitigate climate change. The overall goal of the book is to introduce basic concepts and to help cultivate a sense of wonder about the natural world.

Before transactions are finalized, all U.S. orders are adjusted to reflect price differences and that day’s exchange rate. However, when the total is converted back into U.S. dollars by the credit card company, it will end up being slightly different, depending on the exchange rate applied by Visa or MasterCard. If it is important that you be charged an exact amount in U.S dollars, we recommend paying by U.S.-dollar check (see “Order by mail,” #2 below).
