I'm sending to grandkids and their parents." --Nancy Birdsall"Great read for middle school kids who want to understand how the world is getting better -- and can become even more so!" --Parag Khanna"If you know a middle school student or teacher, pass this along! Incredibly fresh and honest." --Karen Schulte "Kids are taught that everything's getting worse and we're all doomed--factually incorrect, and a message that leads to cynicism & fatalism, not constructive action.
