Diet for a Changing Climate: Food for Thought
By Sue Heavenrich and Christy Mihaly
For ages 11 and up
Twenty-First Century Books/Lerner
ISBN: 9781512481211
This field guide-meets-cookbook puts weeds, wild plants, invasive and feral species, and bugs on the menu. In addition to environmental and nutritional information, we take readers to a cricket farm, meet chefs, and share tips on how to be an eco-friendly diner. Our goal is to help kids (and maybe even their parents) stretch their culinary imaginations.
Links to reviews and interviews:
Kirkus calls it “an optimistic introduction for those who want to take a bite out of climate change.”

School Library Journal calls it “a great resource for those exploring environmental issues and seeking ways to combat climate change.”

Horn Book included it in their list of recommended titles on sustainable eating, and the SEJ Bookshelf found it an inventive combination of cookbook and field guide.
