Given the gloomy environmental prognoses our kids are growing up with, this anthology is an inspiring reminder that even small actions make a difference. Both, fittingly, are on the cover of this colourful little hardback.īut while they clearly deserve their chapters, it’s the lesser-known of the 20 heroes introduced here that I want my son to read about – such as William Kamkwamba, the 14-year-old from Malawi who built a windmill from junk and Isabel Soares, who saved tonnes of food waste in Portugal by persuading people to eat less-than-perfect fruit. When I asked my 11-year-old who he associates with saving the planet, he instantly fired back the names David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg.
