Asher Syed reviewed A Kid’s Guide to Climate Activism in Reader’s Favorite! Here’s a highlight from the review:
A Kid’s Guide to Climate Activism, by Kimberly Haidinger, is a welcome breath of fresh air in the world of environmental education… It’s direct, informative, and genuinely hopeful. The handmade feel of the illustrations by Luna Hansen gives the book a warmth and creativity that make the ideas inside feel more approachable, almost like a ‘zine’ made by a passionate friend. This isn’t just a how-to manual; it’s an invitation. Kids are treated as capable thinkers who can reflect on their decisions and take small steps that matter. It’s the kind of guide that doesn’t talk down but lifts up. Very highly recommended.
