It's Our World, Too! Young People Who Are Making a Difference

Phillip Hoose
East Union m.c. paperback 166 pages
genre: service learning

The 14 young people whose stories make up the first part of the book are inspiring. What extraordinary kids to achieve so much! Their point is that they're just ordinary kids who are making a difference the best way they know how. Very cool.

The second half of the book is a "how-to" for kids. Interesting, but not as much as the personal stories. I think I'll buy a copy for my collection, though the pictures and examples are getting pretty old (1980s). It would be great to see kids inspired to make a difference in their own community!
