Publisher's Synopsis

Earth Squad is the book activist kids have been searching for. Featuring vibrantly illustrated profiles and practical tips inspired by eco-warriors across the globe, it's an entertaining and inspiring resource for any reader -- of any age! -- who wants to make a difference in their community and their world.
