Publisher's Synopsis
Many adults underestimate the extent to which children absorb what they hear and see around them. Having a misinformed understanding of important issues can create confusion and distress for young people. Learning more about topics such as food insecurity, sustainability, and inflation can replace those emotions with a sense of understanding and empowerment. Engaging text, enhanced with full-color photographs and accessible graphic organizers, gives readers information about all facets of today's most important issues. Knowing the facts is the first step toward becoming active, informed citizens and making a difference in the world.
