Generation Hope


Meet the young people around the world who are acting now to make a difference. 
From taking climate change and animal welfare, to fighting for equality and advocating kindness, the young activists profiled in this book show how we can all make a positive change. 
Ready... Steady... Activate - the future is now!

This book is bright, bold and packed with information for children and teenagers who want to make a difference. It would make perfect reading for secondary school students stuck at home, wondering if they can change the world from their bedroom. 

Written in accessible language with lots of colour and great artwork. This is a book anyone can enjoy. 

It features some fantastic activists, from big names like Greta Thunberg, to equally amazing but less well known teenagers such as Storm Delaney, who has crafted her own range of eco-clothing, and Genesis Butler, who gave a TEDx talk on the benefits of a plant-based diet when she was ten! I was in awe of the fantastic teenagers featured in this book and it will be hugely inspirational for young fans of the Rebel Girls books, or Little People, Big Dreams series who want to know they can make a difference right now. 

There are ideas for eco-businesses - and an easy outline for how to start one - a list of ways to save water, and eight ways you can help homeless people. It would be impossible to write a review that outlines all of the brilliant topics covered in Generation Hope - there is something to inspire everyone, no matter where your passions lie. 

There is also a detailed list of websites at the back, giving readers somewhere to check out next (great for a bit more home-learning).

Generation Hope is a brilliant, informative book that shows youth can make a difference. 

Thank you so much Scholastic for sending me a copy of Generation Hope to review.
