Reviews
This engaging, timely collection of essays formulates a strong argument for the value of using literature about climate change to engage students for understanding and taking action to address climate change based on moral and ethical perspectives portrayed in texts. Through responding to literary portrayals of characters grappling with climate change effects in these texts, students are imagining alternative ways of enacting and reconstituting systems for adapting to and mitigating climate change effects. I highly recommend this book for English language arts teachers., Literature as a Lens for Climate Change: Using Narratives to Prepare the Next Generation is a timely and necessary volume in the field of climate education. Rebecca L. Young has assembled a diverse range of contributors whose ideas about marshalling the power of narrative to teach climate change are both thought-provoking and practical. The chapters foreground the truth that young people today are not just victims of the intergenerational violence of climate change; they are themselves powerful leaders, activists, and storytellers.Yet as this book makes clear, the responsibility is not theirs alone for addressing the climate crisis; it is the responsibility of educators as well. This book then is not just a set of resources but an important call to action. -- Stephen Siperstein, Choate Rosemary Hall, Literature as a Lens for Climate Change is a wonderful resource for any educator.

Packaging was rather large. Never would it fit in anyone’s mailbox. Maybe just use a padded envelope next time.
