It interested me because I am very passionate about the environment!
My favourite inspirational people saving our world are: David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg but I loved reading all the 20 inspiring stories of people saving our world!
They were all very inspiring!

I would recommend it to someone else who is very passionate about the environment and likes hearing about inspirational people saving our world!

I liked the David Attenbourogh chapter the most because he liked exploring the coral reef. The books made me want to help save Earth.

An interesting book with 20 inspiring stories of people saving our planet. Lots of varied stories,
from the obvious Greta Thunberg so a local sailor Ellen McArthur which I found very surprising!
It is an uplifting book which shows how we can change to make a difference to climate change.
It would be a good book to use in a school project.

It was factual, and it interested me to help a bit more in climate change.
I would definitely recommend it to someone else.

I love this book because, although it's a fact book, it tells you about these amazing people in a really personal way, including their thoughts, and feelings. I would recommend this book to anybody who needs the inspiration to step out into the world and stand up for what they believe in.

It was very interesting to read about the famous heroes

I like this book because it is very inspiring how lots of young people have helped save the planet. It is non-fiction and I recommend this to people who are passionate about stopping climate change. I recommend this to age 7+.

I think it is very good for the children to understand how the world is changing by every little thing we do.

We loved reading the stories of inspirational individuals working to address climate change. The children doing great things were especially popular and gave us lots to discuss. Some of the 'heroes' seemed more relatable than others - we liked Mohammed Rezwan's floating schools more than Stella McCartney's high fashion - but we learned something from every story. Some of the content was a little dry, but shortish chapters made that manageable for the most part.

These short stories are an inspirational for children and adults alike. Through reading this book I was introduced to a range of people who have influenced the world in a positive way. Whilst some of these were known to me before, dipping into this book introduced me to some I had never heard of before and I would like children to know of. As a non-fiction text this interested me as it covers a topic that is only becoming increasing relevant and will be central to children's lives in the future. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the protection of this planet and how anyone can make a difference. The themes of inspiration, determination and beautifully portrayed through the book and it is certainly one to share with children throughout primary school.

A fantastic book exploring real issues with the current climate but stories of how these real people are making a positive change for the planet. Really inspiring stories and really informative for the children (and adults) who read this.

This is a fact book. It tells you about people who save the environment.

This book tells you all about some amazing people who have fought for change in the envioroment. Fron David Attenborough to Greta Thunberg, these inspiring people will make you think twice about harming our wonderful world.
