Change Is in the Air: Carbon, Climate, Earth, and Us

The Earth has a problem: there's too much carbon in the air.

Luckily, the Earth also has amazing powers to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—like the power of dirt, mangroves, and kelp. Although these powers alone cannot get us out of the climate crisis we’re facing, Earth has one more power that can help: the power of the people! The power to change, protect, and invent, both to reduce emissions and to develop strategies for capturing carbon.

In accessible, engaging, and melodic language, this nonfiction picture book provides an encouraging yet honest picture of the problem of too much carbon in the air, while also conveying the awesomeness of Earth's ways of cleaning things up. Thanks to dirt, kelp, mangroves, and—perhaps most importantly—people, change is in the air!
