With a foreword by teen Colombian American climate justice activist Jamie Margolin, this fun and empowering guide to making the world a better place is packed with inspiring ideas and tips for kids who want to know how to make a difference. 

There’s a lot that can be changed by just one person if they know what to do. How to Make a Better World teaches children about the injustices of the world in a positive way, covering topics like:
- Finding a meaningful cause 
- Discrimination 
- Spotting fake news
- Conservation success and the plastic problem
- Animal activism and green living

With ideas as achievable as creating a neighborhood lending library to those that might require more time such as public speaking and how to talk about politics, How to Make a Better World is divided into sections like You, Community, Environment, and more, making it even easier to tie into specific units of curriculum. Kids will learn about tricky social interactions like friendship fallouts and bullying, and find out how to go about creating activist campaigns to tackle climate change or social injustice. This book is packed with tips for how to change the world, one step at a time. 

Full of positive encouragement to find something they’re passionate about and steps for how to get started on making a big difference through small actions, this brilliant activism book for kids could help inspire the next great environmental campaigner or fantastic equal rights champion. After all, if kids are to think positive thoughts and be part of movements for positive change, they need to be encouraged to do it. With How to Make a Better World, who knows where a motivation to help make a better world will lead!

The book was adapted for the stage by Chickenshed Theatre at Easter 2019 and will be performed in New York in May 2020. View titles by Keilly Swift
