Jesse and the Climate Monster

An Introduction for parents and teachers

As the news of climate change and climate related disasters expands, our school age children are not immune to the feelings of fear and helplessness. Jesse and the Climate Monster, published as a bilingual (English/Spanish) book, allows young readers, their classmates and their families, an opportunity to begin to understand climate change as presented in an engaging tale. Within the story, early readers are exposed to many of the effects of climate change as Jesse relates the experiences of Jesse’s classmates. In addition to the story, the accompanying links, activities, and illustrated glossary allow younger students, their classmates and their families, further access to climate information in an age-appropriate format. This story provides a ray of optimism, and a feeling of empowerment to our young readers.

    Jesse and the Climate Monster is a delightful story. My favorite line: "To use this power, feel the power within you. Then, to release the power to begin its work, command: Sun, wind, and waves, power the fight against the climate monster." As father and son (and pup), they begin to notice the world around them. They see signs that people care enough about the environment that they are beginning to change, and creating new more sustainable habits. They develop a courageous hope that if they remind others of the importance of taking care of our planet, and continue to do their part, all will have a better future. This book gives an empowering message related to the heartfelt relationship between parent and child, which makes it the perfect read-aloud book.

  • Molly Shaw

    Jesse and the Climate Monster is a wonderful book about the complex topic of global warming. Jesse, a young boy who lives with a supportive single parent and an amazing dog, is a character that other young kids will easily identify with. He is full of questions, hope, good will, and the conviction that he can make the world a better place for everyone -- he just needs to know how to do it. Tom Medeiros gently weaves a story that gives his young readers and listeners the tools to reverse the global warming trends that might seem too powerful to change. Through science, communication, and activism, children can reframe their role in global warming into being agents of change for a better world for all.
