Review Quotes




Cool and Jones break down the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals into concrete steps.

Twelve colorful, cartoonish smiling heroes introduce themselves with the empowering idea that everyone can improve the world by sharing, eating and living well, conserving water and energy, safeguarding the environment, being curious and kind, and ensuring that others receive fair, respectful, and equal treatment. These goals might seem unattainable, but the heroes reassure readers that they can be achieved if everyonetakes manageable steps and works together. The book is organized into colorful, lively, comiclike panels. In each, a different hero explains why the goal is important and presents easy ways to realize it. Stay Well Hero notes that washing your hands, exercising, and getting plenty of sleep are all necessary for keeping the body strong and the heart healthy, while Water Hero advises readers not to litter at the beach and to take shorter showers. The language is direct and child-friendly: "It's cool to take care of yourself. Be kind to your mind. Take care of your body. Stay active for your heart." Easy, enjoyable activities and questions accompany the simple, conversational texts. --Kirkus Reviews

PreS-Gr 2-Twelve cartoony heroes, including Nature, Fairness, and Curiosity Hero, introduce simple things that children can do to help counter human-caused climate change. The heroes and other figures appear as colorful circles and other shapes, whimsically detailed with pen-and-ink arms and legs, facial expressions, and accessories. Live Well Hero carries a reusable water bottle. Climate Action Hero, a globe who sports a pink mask, suggests that we all work together and "make small changes in how we live today." Apple-shaped Eat Well Hero promotes eating locally grown fruit and veggies. Most are age-appropriate and focus on working well with others, such as Sharing Hero who suggests children donate used toys and clothes. Pair this with other books offering an upbeat approach for young readers, such as Stacy McAnulty's Our Planet! There's No Place Like Earth.VERDICT This is an appealing option for parents and caregivers looking for ways to introduce sustainability topics to young children.--School Library Journal
