There's a lot that can be changed by just one person, if you know what to do. Start by making yourself into the awesome person you want to be by learning all about self-care and kindness.

This fun and inspiring guide to making the world a better place and becoming a good citizen is packed with ideas and tips for kids who want to know how to make a difference. How to Make a Better World is a practical guide to activism for awesome kids.
My Thoughts:
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make the world a better place or how you could personally make a difference?
How to Make A Better World gives young readers the knowledge and encouragement to start right away, beginning with you, the reader!
It is made up of four chapters that focus on 'you', 'community', 'humanity', and the 'environment', and is illustrated in fun and expressive ways that keep the extra information entertaining and easy to absorb.
The 'You' chapter focuses on self-care, understanding and overcoming difficult emotions, the power of positive thinking and more! Because you can't help the world if you're not at your best and ready to do so!
The 'Community' chapter encourages making friends, joining clubs, volunteering, celebrating heritage, and shares how your interactions within your community can influence others to change the world as well!
The 'Humanity' chapter focuses on showing kids how they can speak out and express themselves and how to learn about and join in on causes that are important to them, from creating campaigns, fundraisers, or even participating in a protest or march.
The 'Environment' chapter shares how you can make a positive difference through animal activism, green living, and raising awareness about serious issues like plastics in our oceans.
This book is a treasure trove of information!
There's so much great advice about social interactions, both positive and negative, and how to maneuver them, from friendship fallouts to simple disagreements to bullying. There's lots of positive encouragement to find something you're passionate about and how to get started on making a big difference in the world through small actions.
There's even a spread about Little Free Libraries! Swoon!
