Nature Is The Answer bursts with ideas, solutions and love for the wondrous, fragile living world of which we are part. It reminds us that hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up. It shows us that the best answer to anxiety or despair is action - and that just because we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything. Read it and leap! - Robert Macfarlane

Understand eco-anxiety, build resilience, and make sure your demands for the future are heard with this kids' guide to facing green grief.

Chris Packham experiences eco-anxiety often. The climate breakdown can feel overwhelming and cause many worries about the future. But that doesn't mean the wild world can't be an amazing place. In fact, if eco-anxiety is caused by the state of nature, then perhaps the state of nature has answers to our eco-anxiety.

This nature book for kids confronts the climate breakdown, normalises eco-anxiety, and trumpets advocacy - while keeping the joy of nature at the forefront.

Help children overcome eco-anxiety and learn how they can make a positive impact!

  • Uplifting and practical eco-centric advice: Full of hopeful, science-backed tips and tricks to lessen climate anxiety, alongside key climate information and perspectives from experts and other young people, including advice on activism, navigating social media, and discerning fake news.
  • Full of nature activities for kids: Reinforce the learning with fun, age-appropriate nature activities for kids in every chapter - including a variety of nature crafts and mindfulness exercises.
  • The perfect nature gift for kids: An empowering exploration of the natural world, perfect for kids aged 9-12 who want to make the world a better place.


Personal anecdotes from Chris's many years working as a naturalist will be interspersed throughout, emphasising that nature can still be a joyous place - and that it still holds many answers to the biggest personal and global problems we face. Because, as Chris has found throughout his career, Nature is the Answer.
