bracelet comes to a girl in Texas, who ends up in a Groundhog

One person. Small, quiet, insignificant. But when one person, and
one person, and one person become many, they can change a planet.
Spare, poetic text and breathtaking pictures invite readers on a
stirring journey that gently illuminates the causes of climate
change as well as how our individual and collective actions can
make the world better. With calm, truthfulness, and beauty, To
Change a Planet demonstrates the importance of caring for our
planet. Eye popping explosions of color on every page create a
stunning visual narrative that invites readers to find and follow
the same characters through their daily lives and ultimately to a
climate march on Washington, where their storylines converge. Clear
endnotes vetted by a climate expert answer a myriad of questions in
simple language. Meticulously researched and brimming with hope and
hands-on solutions that will edify and empower even the youngest
readers, To Change a Planet is a loving ode to our only home and
vital for every child, classroom, and family. * "Earth's beauty and
fragility provide the impetus for activism in this introduction to
climate change...An attractive entree to a vital subject for the
youngest citizens." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "The book's
overall tone is hopeful, centered around the conviction that, just
as we can exacerbate the effects of climate change, so too can we
forestall and reverse them." -- School Library Journal "Has the
potential to inspire all." -- Shelf Awarenes
