Calling All Future Leaders & Planet-Helpers!

May 31 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Meet the Mother-Daughter Team Changing the Climate Conversation!

Author & Illustrator Meet & Greet | Book Signing

What does it mean to be an “activist”? To us, it’s simple: it means taking action on the things you care about. It doesn’t have to be a BIG action to make a BIG difference.

Join us at Barnes & Noble Blue Back Square, West Hartford on Sunday, May 31st (1–4 PM) to meet local mother-daughter duo Kimberly Haidinger and Luna Hansen!

We are on a mission to normalize activism and show middle-grade readers that their passions—whether in art, writing, or science—are exactly what the world needs right now.

Why you should stop by:

🎨 Meet the Teen Illustrator: My daughter Luna (a local high school freshman) will be sharing her original artwork and talking about how she uses her creativity to advocate for the environment.

🧠 The Climate & Economics Challenge: Think you know your climate vocabulary? Take our quick quiz! Every kid who tries gets a raffle entry for a Barnes & Noble gift card!

📖 Summer Brain Gain: Our books are designed to build the “power words” kids need to feel confident in the climate conversation. It’s the perfect summer reading to prepare them for a lifetime of leadership.

We want to recruit a whole community of planet-helpers in West Hartford, Farmington, and all the surrounding communities!

Come meet like-minded families, get inspired, and grab your signed copies of the Climate Action Vocabulary Series.

We can’t wait to meet the next generation of changemakers!
