What's the Issue?: Sets 1 – 2

Young people often are often introduced to complex topics, such as racism, immigration, free speech, and gender equality, through the Internet, television news programs, and conversations between adults. However, they’re often not given the full picture of these issues presented in a way they can comprehend. That’s what they’ll find in this exploration of many of today’s most talked-about topics. Readers are presented with the most important facts about various social and political issues through age-appropriate main text, detailed fact boxes, and helpful graphic organizers. Full-color photographs help readers see the real-world impact of these issues.
• Fact-filled, unbiased text gives readers an objective view of challenging topics and encourages them to look for the truth beyond media spin and personal opinions
• Suggestions are given for realistic ways readers can help tackle these issues, such as walking more rather than driving to fight climate change and welcoming refugees and immigrants in their schools
• Sensitive tone balances facts about potentially upsetting topics, such as racism and cyberbullying, with information about the people and organizations working to make the world safer and more inclusive for everyone
