Why we made this

We also wanted to create a free resource for parents or teachers to use who are looking for ways to help their kids understand how the planet is changing.
Our methodology
We talked with scientists, psychologists and climate researchers to find the best information and proven practices for how to talk to young kids about climate change. We also interviewed several kids who have experienced climate disasters and have taken action in their local communities.
Who this is for
This comic is intended for kids ages 6-12, who are starting to hear about climate change or are starting to experience climate anxiety. But we hope it can be a resource for people of any age.
