Nature is the Answer: A Toolkit for Eco-Positivity - Chris Packham

"Nature Is The Answer bursts with ideas, solutions and love for the wondrous, fragile living world of which we are part. It reminds us that hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up. It shows us that the best answer to anxiety or despair is action — and that just because we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything. Read it and leap!" – Robert Macfarlane

Understand eco-anxiety, build resilience, and make sure your demands for the future are heard with this kids’ guide to facing green grief.

Chris Packham experiences eco-anxiety often. The climate breakdown can feel overwhelming and cause many worries about the future. But that doesn’t mean the wild world can’t be an amazing place. In fact, if eco-anxiety is caused by the state of nature, then perhaps the state of nature has answers to our eco-anxiety.

This nature book for kids confronts the climate breakdown, normalises eco-anxiety, and trumpets advocacy – while keeping the joy of nature at the forefront.
