"Our World Out of Balanceis a wonderful introduction to climate change and other global environmental challenges for children. Unlike so many other books about climate change, it does not traffic in fear. Instead, it presents the facts and shows what young people can do to help build a cleaner, safer and more equitable future for the planet." -Simon Donner, Professor, Climate Scientist, University of British Columbia .
Filled with engaging big ideas that will inspire children to think about their role in keeping our world healthy, Our World Out of Balance details how humans have thrown the planet off-balance andways we can work together to be part of the solution and create a healthier world.

From there, children learn about the causes behind each phenomenon and what we all can do to intervene and bring balance back to our home planet.
The easy-to-follow "Before" and "After" segments help children understand complex topics like:
