This review is from: 50 Ways to Save Our Children: Small, Medium, and Big Ways You Can Change a Child's Life (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone -- teachers, parents, community officials -- who wants to make this world a better place for our children. It provides solid, in-depth information on several different organizations and national programs. It educates and illuminates, but never preaches or provokes one into feeling guilty about not being able to do everything. It's a great guide for individuals and groups alike! -- Laura Klotz, author of "Saving the World in Your Spare Time"
