Gr 4–7—This series breaks the goals into small groups to examine their purpose and propose ways individuals can help. Each book explains what the SDGs are, why they are important, and the general necessity of goal setting. The succeeding chapters are divided into different approaches for helping advance the goals at home, in school, and in their communities. Text boxes highlight current projects that are part of the UN's goals. Glossary, index, further learning, and an activity are included. VERDICT Recommended for school libraries.
