Akhirnya berhasil menyelesaikan buku ini setelah membacanya pelan-pelan selama hampir 3 minggu. Tulisan yang diangkat penting, narasinya juga menarik, tapi panjang banget.
Membaca pendahuluannya, ketika penulis menceritakan bahwa di meja makan dia bisa nanya apa aja tentang dunia sama orang tuanya, aku pikir ini buku panduan orang tua untuk memperkenalkan dunia yang tidak indah pada anak-anak.
Nyatanya, ini buku untuk anak-anak remaja. Dimulai dengan membicarakan soal kemiskinan, hak untuk memperoleh pendidikan, kesetaraan gender, tentang tubuh dan penyakit, serta krisis iklim. Penulis menjelaskan bahwa semua hal berhubungan sehingga ada beberapa bagian yang terkesan diulang-ulang.
Misalnya saat membicarakan soal air. Walaupun memang keberadaan air layak pakai lah yang paling berdampak ketika terjadi krisis iklim kemudian diikuti dengan rentetan dampak berikutnya.

A very beautiful book to get kids (and many adults) inspired! It may be basic in many ways, but it's very heart warming in the way it explains facts, science, issues to kids. Fully recommended.

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton presents and explains today’s toughest challenges we face in today’s world for young readers. This includes poverty, hunger, education, gender equality and climate change. She cites various statistics and provides resources for kids to get involved in order to quell these challenges. This is a great book for kids to understand what’s going on in the world around them and motivates them to do something about it.

While the facts are dated, they’re helpful and informative to help create opinions about the world around you and provides resources if you’re truly feeling a calling

i really wanted to like this... but i found it very boring and dry, and would not have finished it if it wasn't for the audiobook (read by chelsea clinton herself — which felt like her nagging at me after a while). i must admit did learn a thing or two, though.
it's really quite lengthy for a children's book. while plenty of resources are provided and weaved in as to how you can help (and where you can go to help out the causes mentioned), it also reads a bit like an advertisement after a while with the url links. might have been better if they were placed in footnotes at the bottom of the page instead. but if anything, it's a good place for a child to start reading up about world issues.
it also reads to be a bit humble-braggy after a while, with her many experiences as a child overseas, yada yada yada.
