I am the librarian at a Title 1 school. We have lots of students that love our non-fiction section. The books in this project are nominated for our state awards that focus on climate and our environment. I use these books to teach library lessons and the students look forward to reading these non-fiction book each year!
Climate change and our environment are important issues to learn about.
These books are packed with fascinating facts covering geography, history, climate, and nature. Teaching about climate change and the environment is crucial for empowering students to understand the impacts of the climate crisis, fostering a sense of responsibility for the planet, and developing skills for future environmental leadership.
Please consider supporting this project to help me get these twenty books on our shelves and share these award nominee books with our students. The conversations around these books will be life changing.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
