What's the Issue?: Set 7
In today's society, young adults are increasingly at the forefront of social change. Giving children an age-appropriate introduction to today's toughest topics is an important part of preparing them to take an active role in the world around them. Augmented with colorful graphic organizers and eye-catching fact boxes, these volumes explore some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century, such as impeachment, vaccines, and food insecurity, using language that readers can understand and relate to. Readers learn not only what's happening around them but also what they can do about it. Key features of each volume: • A list of age-appropriate actions to take to get more involved with these issues that replaces feelings of helplessness with a sense of agency
• Accessible text that examines all sides of each topic and breaks down complex ideas
• Curriculum-based background information on each issue that allows readers to make connections between what they learn in the classroom and what's happening in the world around them
