I don’t usually stay up late reading an entire book after acquiring it that same evening, but this time, I did. Okay, it was a children’s book, but still . . .
“Climate Change for Kids . . . and Parents Too,” by Ken Ham and Jessica DeFord, is as the title suggests, written in understandable and engaging language for tween/teen audiences, but the information is eye-opening for parents (and grandparents) as well.
Ken Ham, the former high school science teacher whose concern for students’ questions about biblical truth led to the founding of Answers in Genesis, is not new to presenting biblical truth about questions children are likely to encounter in school or society. My now-adult kids’ copy of “What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs?” is still around and now being enjoyed by my granddaughter, along with several other books that were a valuable supplement during both homeschool and public education years. And the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter attractions in northern Kentucky have become increasingly popular destinations with families looking for a fun experience that helps ground them in the truth.
“Climate Change for Kids” responds to the changing questions kids may have as environmental concerns occupy much of the science narrative. Ham and DeFord tackle topics like weather extremes, ice ages/global warming, “cheap” vs. “sustainable” energy, polar bear populations, and many more, with an important distinction—the foundational truth of God’s Word. Ham’s background in biology and environmental science brought him to examine secular vs. biblical worldviews and eventually to realize that the science data not only fits with a biblical worldview, but actually supports it.
Any family with school-age kids in science classes needs this book! Visit https://answersingenesis.org for more information about this and other great resources, and stay tuned for updates about the new attraction Answers in Genesis is partnering to bring to Branson!
