Fans of No Voice Too Small will be inspired by young climate activists who made an impact around climate change in their communities, countries, and beyond.

Climate change impacts everyone, but the future belongs to young people. No World Too Big celebrates twelve young activists and three activist groups on front lines of the climate crisis who have planted trees in Uganda, protected water in Canada, reduced school-bus climate footprint in Indonesia, invented alternate power sources in Ohio, and more. Fourteen poems by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, David Bowles, Rajani LaRocca, Renée LaTulippe, Heidi E. Y. Stemple, and others honor activists from all over the world and the United States. Additional text goes into detail about each activist's life and how readers can get involved.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Profiles of 12 young climate activists and three grassroots groups, matched to painted portraits and original poems.
Similar in concept to No Voice Too Small: Fourteen Young Americans Making History (2020), by the same creators, but taking a worldwide perspective, these entries highlight successful initiatives undertaken by school-age children in locales from the Marshall Islands to Ukraine and the Americas. Though Greta Thunberg—flashing her magnificent scowl in Bradley’s digital pastel—is the subject of one of the early entries, the other chosen activists will be mostly unfamiliar to readers. The poems are largely identified as free verse, such as one by Traci Sorell that acrostically spells out the name of Indigenous Brazilian tree planter Artemisa Xakriabá, but include examples of less common forms, too, such as a dokugin (or single-author) renga by David Bowles praising Mexica activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, and a Vietnamese-style lục bát by Teresa Robeson commemorating the work of biodiesel-promoting “Grease Police” on Bali. The editors spread prompts for both individual and collective action throughout and add capsule biographies of the poets and descriptions of each kind of poem at the close. 
Inspiring examples for fledgling defenders of the environment. 

—Kirkus Reviews


Introducing climate change–combating young people and related actions readers can take, thisunusual, quietly forceful book will be a great addition to classroom and public library shelves. Itstarts with a macro view, with the editors briefly explaining to readers what “nearly all of theworld’s countries” agreed to in the Paris Agreement: “to reach climate neutrality—no increase inthe greenhouse effect—by 2050.” The book then zooms in on individuals and groups of youngpeople who aren’t waiting for that change. Short prose explanations of their actions areaccompanied by poems in various forms that memorably address the same topics. GretaThunberg is here, but the book also introduces lesser-known activists such as teens from theMarshall Islands who teach their peers to advocate for island-saving progress and LeahNamugerwa, a Ugandan who planted 200 trees on her fifteenth birthday and whose BirthdayTrees project helps others follow suit. Digital images portray each person in an artful but realisticstyle, giving the serious topic a welcome, hopeful air. Closing the work is a helpful guide to thepoetry forms used.

—Booklist


A timely and relevant book highlighting youth activists and youth-led organizations fighting climate change around the world.

Using poetry and art, the authors write about some of the most prominent, but also the lesser known, young people opening the door wider on global activism. The book highlights a variety of activists with a wide range of inventive solutions to climate change issues. Each activist is introduced via poem, and then a short summary about the activist and a practical suggestion for reader involvement follows. The poetry includes many popular forms such as found poetry and free verse, but also lesser-known forms such as sea chantey and dokugin renga, a Japanese form of linked verse. The many poetry types reinforce the belief that ­different peoples and ideas can work together to effect change. The seeming pencil-and-ink illustrations are digitally produced, but well designed; the activists depicted are easily recognizable. Color elements, such as the constant brown paper–style background, supplement the environmental message. There is a glossary of terms and poetry forms, as well as biographical information for each poet. The publisher pledges to offset the climate footprint of the book’s publication by purchasing United Nations certified emission reduction credits for each copy purchased.

VERDICT A great title to introduce curious readers and budding environmentalists to what youth are doing around the world right now to fight global climate change.

This inspirational book has it all: facts, poetry, and gorgeous art
This is one of my favorite recent books because it can be used on so many levels. The poetry is amazing because we learn about the world in interesting varying styles. (There's a guide in the back to the different poetry forms.) I've included images of some great pages. I like how the art brings each mini story to life so we can really see the kids alongside their bios. A wonderful book to gift, for classrooms, or to donate to your local children's hospital.

Some days I get really down when I think about climate change. I panic. I fret. I stew. But when I read a book like this, I realize that there's an army of youth activists (and scientists) working toward keeping our beloved planet a hospitable place. And I am thankful and inspired to continue to do my part to help. I hope this book gets shared widely, inspiring so many more to take part in saving Mama Earth and saving us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children Lead the Way
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023
No World Too Big is an essential read for classrooms! The authors acknowledge and validate children’s climate anxiety and anger and then proceed to showcase children of all ages from all over the world who have transformed their frustration into activism. Each of the activists provide young readers with role models who have used their creativity and ingenuity to affect real sustainable change in their communities. Prompts throughout the text and back matter provide readers with practical ways they can empower themselves to find solutions to everyday problems. Each of the powerful poems expose children to a diverse range of poetry forms, elucidate on the climate action taken by activists, and provide a resounding message of hope and optimism.The gorgeous illustrations shine with the beautiful faces of climate activists who are shaping a better tomorrow.

Even the production of the book itself is responsible:

“In an effort to offset the climate footprint of publishing and distributing this book, the editors are purchasing United Nations Certified Emission Reductions in the amount of ten pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per book sold.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Have for Today's Elementay Teachers and Librarians
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023
A must-have for classrooms and school libraries! I wish I had had this book to be able to share with my students before I retired. Stunning poems, quick essays on exemplary young climate change activists from around the world, and brief actionable suggestions for all students to make a difference today on issues of climate change. So many ways to enjoy and use this book! A teacher could easily read one or more of the 14 stories to the class during story-time and compare and contrast them, assign research on just one activist, write poems themselves, ask kids how they could apply what they have learned here to their surrounding communities. Back matter compliments the brief stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and moving portraits of young climate activists
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023
"The change you sow will grow." – I loved this line from JaNay Brown-Wood's poem that appears in this beautiful and inspiring anthology. Like its predecessor, No Voice Too Small, this book highlights and honors young climate activists with a poem, a short statement explaining their impactful climate work, and a call to action for young readers. I liked that the book encourages children to start small and work together. One small change leads to other, bigger changes, but nothing can happen without that first step. Beautiful illustration by Jeanette Bradley realistically depicts each of the child activists in their home environments. This would be an excellent addition to any classroom or home library.
