A Kid’s Guide to Giving by Freddi Zeiler

When 14-year-old Freddi decided to donate some money to a charity, she quickly became overwhelmed by the sheer number of charitable organizations. After doing tons of research, she wrote this book for other kids to use as a reference. In the introductory chapters Freddi explores why we give and how to raise money if one is so inclined. She also sensitively warns kids about groups that are not legitimate or that don’t use donated money effectively. Finally, she profiles more then 100 organizations, breaking them down into causes related to people, animals, and the environment. She outlines the organization’s mission, how they use donation money, all contact information, and more. Plenty of adults will find the handy guide useful as well. Ages 9 and up.

The PeaceJam Global Call to Action hopes to inspire young people around the world to address ten fundamental issues, including access to water, halting the spread of disease, eliminating extreme poverty, controlling weapons proliferation, defending basic human rights, and others. Each chapter narrates the experience of a young person working for change alongside a Nobel Laureate (including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, José Ramos-Horta, Jody Williams, and Adolfo Pérez Esquivel). Ages 11 and up.

The Streets Are Free by Kurusa, illustrated by Monika Doppert

In a barrio crowded with tin-roofed buildings on the side of a mountain near Caracas, Venezuela, the children have nowhere to play. So they go to City Hall to demand a playground. With the support of their parents, a librarian, and a newspaper reporter, they pressure City Hall to build them a playground. But when the politicians renege on their promises, the community decides to take matters into their own hands. Based on a true story and wonderfully illustrated in color and black and white, this is an excellent introduction to community activism and the role of politicians and the press in community affairs.
