A charming, child-friendly tour of an environmentally sustainable city.In this green city, neighbors take care of all living things: people, plants and animals, too! Many people choose biking or walking to get where they need to go. Families collect rain to water the garden, while solar panels capture energy from the sun. Folks keep hens and hives in their yards, and plant flowers that feed bees, birds and butterflies. Here, people work together to make the city green. Can we do the same where we live?Seeing how essential --- and awesome --- it is to be green will inspire kids to imagine it into being!

Adolescents are no strangers to stress. This book explores the science behind that sweaty, heart-racing, under-pressure feeling they sometimes get as they struggle to navigate their changing world. It covers the fight-or-flight reaction to sudden danger, how people cope with chronic stress, how trauma can affect the brain, and the surprising treatments scientists have found for stress in everyday life. The book is divided into chapters and sections that break the information into easily readable chunks, with sidebars and factoids throughout, and simple and often humorous illustrations by Marie-Eve Tremblay.
