Hoose, Philip. It's Our World, Too! . New York, NY: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002.

This book has two parts: the first contains stories of young people who have made a difference in the world, and the second provides helpful information on how the reader too can take action on issues about which they care. Students can be inspired by the examples of their peers such as James Ale, who, after seeing his friend get hit by a car, persuades city officials to build a park in a crowded neighborhood.
