All of us including kids are bombarded with the many problems facing our society and world. Young people are often passionate about certain issues but don’t know how to help make things better.

MAKE YOUR MARK, MAKE A DIFFERENCE is an easy to follow guide that will empower kids to become problem solvers and activists for the issues effecting us all. These include justice for animals, safeguarding our environment, bringing peace to our world, equity among all people and poverty issues.

It doesn’t matter whether your voice is loud or quiet, this guide will lead the way in choosing an issue (there’s a handy quiz to get you started). Readers will find various ways to become active.

The layout is perfect for ages 10 and up. I was so impressed with what this guide offers I agreed to endorse the book in the opening pages:

A comprehensive look at how kids can be confident leaders while pursuing change within a variety of important worldly issues. Joan Marie Galat provides readers with an abundance of excellent ideas for activism along with positive and thoughtful steps to achieve their goals.

What more can I say except that this would make an excellent gift for any budding activist!
