GREAT engaging, "interactive" book with a strong, positive message. Definitely need this in every classroom and home library! I know I'll gift this one!

Thank you to the author and publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! All opinions are my own
This book is clearly intended for a younger audience (ages 3-6) but I still had a lot of fun reading it!
I definitely wasn’t expecting an interactive book! The reader is encouraged to help the earth by pressing “buttons” on each page, which range in actions from providing water to the land to flying your plane to a new location. (My mom and sis were laughing at me as I played along but you’ve got to get the most of the reading!) I’m sure that young readers would have even more fun playing pilot than I did.
This book covers really important issues relating to climate change and I think the author’s aim of exposing kids to these topics in such an accessible format is very clever. Climate change is never mentioned by name but with such a young age bracket I don’t think it’s necessary here. The overall themes are still present and they’re presented in such a way that kids should have no problem following along.
I want to mention the illustrations too, since that’s of course an important part of any picture book. They are so beautiful! I really like this illustrator’s style and I think she complimented the story really well.
Overall, I think this is a fun book and I’m sure young readers will love the adventures they can have with this story!
