Title of Event: A HOT PLANET NEEDS COOL KIDS
with Bainbridge Author,
JULIE HALL

When: Saturday, May 17, 2008 11:00 AM
Location: Eagle Harbor Book Company
Description:
A HOT PLANET NEEDS COOL KIDS: UNDERSTANDING CLIMATE CHANGE & WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

Bainbridge author Julie Hall and Sarah Lane, Editor in Chief of Green Goat Books, present the *Kids' Climate Change Challenge.* The presentation is a fun, lively, and interactive game designed to get kids 8 and up and their parents to:

1. think about climate change and its causes,
2. do things on the spot that reinforce positive and effective pro-planet ways of thinking, and
3. imagine and commit to future actions designed to combat climate change.

The presenters are providing a handout on how parents can effectively talk to their kids about climate change and why they should. Participants are provided with the *Climate Change 101: Starter Kit of Ideas for Change.* Participants are invited to sign the *Change for Climate Change Pledge.* Julie Hall will sign copies of her book.

"Once both generations catch the spirit of hope from this book, we'll change the nation—and the world." ~ Jay Inslee, U.S. Congressman and co-author of Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Kingsolver, Barbara, Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year, Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor, poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she and her family try to eat locally as much as they can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.” —Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR

This novel tells the story of Zits, a teenage foster child who has been passed from family to family. Angry and disillusioned with the people around him, Zits rebels by shooting up a bank. Before he knows it, he is sent on a life-changing odyssey through time that puts him in the shoes of many, including a child at the battle of Little Big Horn and an FBI agent. I highly recommend this passionate and powerful book! ~ Hanna
