Parenting in a Climate Crisis

“Hopeful yet grounded, this provides crucial guidance on navigating a complex facet of modern parenting.”–Publisher’s Weekly“This sympathetic guide offers suggestions for starting conversations and modeling accessible vocabulary and also provides helpful definitions and background information (efforts to mitigate greenhouse gases go back as far as 1855)… The solution-oriented final chapters offer additional realistic advice for reducing carbon footprints, incorporating STEM awareness, participating in community activism, and more, along with considerable helpings of reassurance and hope. Shirvell is an environmentalist and widely published journalist, but this timely, accessible, and important account is written, first and foremost, by a parent, for parents.” –Booklist
