CHILDREN’S book of the week

HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD

by Rashmi Sirdeshpande, illustrated by Annabel Tempest, Puffin, hardback £6.99, ebook £3.99

IN THIS beautifully illustrated book, Rashmi Sirdeshpande recounts a series of important milestones in human history.

Including the establishment of the first democracy, the International Space Station, and the start of the fair trade campaign, each achievement acts as inspiration for a better world.

This empowering book is well suited to curious young minds, and Annabel Tempest’s intricately detailed pictures ensure every page has plenty to explore.

Although Sirdeshpande gives a basic introduction to every milestone, it should inspire discussion about personal sacrifice, courage, and team efforts, and act as a colourful springboard to learning more about each point in history.
