Industry Reviews
Thank you so much for finally making the book I needed in my youth. -- Daze Aghaji, Climate Justice Activist
Grounded in evidence-based hope and realistic steps for the average student of the Earth! As a young person, this is a must-read for every student struggling to understand the climate crisis. It's not easy to talk about it or learn about it. But with this book, I felt like I can relate and have sustainable steps to take to help protect the planet! Building a sustainable future requires thousands of us to understand a complex problem but recognize the solutions have always existed! This book offers the promise of working together to build a climate-positive world that connects science, culture, and hope! -- Isaias Hernandez, Environmental Educator
If you're looking for an accessible, energetic, and fun approach to the emotional side of climate change, look no further. This book cheers young readers on as it teaches how to harness eco-emotions for meaningful, purposeful, and personally sustainable climate action. It rightfully points out the bright side of the challenge we all face. -- Britt Wray, PhD, author of Generation Dread and Planetary Health Fellow, Stanford University School of Medicine
This team have my respect for writing this book for a younger audience, which addresses an important concern of our time: how to increase climate awareness whilst being mindful of the psychological challenges that come from grappling with climate change. -- Lily Cole, British Actor, Model and Entrepreneur
This book is fun and I hope it reaches lots of new readers! -- Dr. Willough Jenkins, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California
I wish we'd all read this when we were kids, perhaps we would already be living all the Climate solutions. -- Arizona Muse, Supermodel, parent and sustainability activist
The perfect toolkit for families affected by eco-anxiety. It contains engaging facts, great practical ideas, and, through carefully chosen keywords, it manages to concisely unravel tricky sustainability issues.

Such an important book to alleviate climate anxiety and harness change. -- Anya Hindmarch, Sustainable Fashion Designer, Author
You Are Unstoppable is a gift to young people-and to the parents, teachers, and caregivers who love them. Climate change can be an overwhelming topic, but this book navigates the difficult terrain of climate emotions with clarity, compassion, and honesty. Filled with ideas that are both practical and empowering, You Are Unstoppable will help young people learn how to care for themselves and each other while caring for the planet. As a parent, I'm deeply grateful this book exists. -- Elizabeth Berchard, Mom's Clean Air Force and author of Parenting In a Changing Climate

This is a great resource for young people, to help them cope with climate anxiety & understand how they feel about the climate crisis. Written by two psychologists focusing on how climate change is impacting our mental health, they provide tips and activities to combat climate related worries and turn the anxiety into action.

Introducing terms like greenwashing, intersectionality, marginalised groups and climate justice, this is a wonderful book for young people of all ages who want to learn more about the climate justice movement and fight for a better future.

There was also a section at the end for parents and educators, exploring ways to communicate with young people about serious topics like climate change and how to make young people feel seen & heard. An overall great resource for everyone wanting to make a difference.
