(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adelina Lirius. Two British teenage sisters speak out against single-use plastics; a twelve-year-old in Indonesia organizes to prevent flooding; a seven-year-old South African boy advocates for endangered species. With minimal text and engagingly detailed illustrations, this book introduces twelve young eco-activists from around the world. Each inviting double-page spread offers one or two brief paragraphs outlining an individual's focus and initiatives. Additional information appears in smaller-type captions whimsically integrated into the illustrations. Ten things that "help to save the planet," ten ways "to make your voice heard," and a list of related websites conclude a book with lots of appeal to browsers and visual learners.
