Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change by Hannah Alper is a book meant to let young people know that they can make a difference in this world. Age does not define you nor does it restrict one’s ability to make a difference in someone’s life. Kindness always makes a difference!
This book, written by a young teenager, is full of the stories of young people out there doing what they can to make this world a better place overall and to bring a smile to someone’s heart. The young people all face different challenges - there are people out there that think kids can’t do anything of importance - but they tough their way through the challenges before them to bring about the changes they are seeking.
In the Bible, John 15:12, we are commanded by Jesus to love one another: “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” The young people represented in Momentus are doing their part to “love one another” and making the world a better place. They are making a difference.
If you need inspiration, can’t think of what you can do to make a difference to even just one person, pick up a copy of Momentus. You will find plenty of ideas. Sometimes all it takes is a smile to make someone’s day. No matter your age, you can do this!

Underwhelming. Hate to be a downer -- because I think the book makes an enjoyable read but I disagree that it is a good manual for activists or change makers. Because despite all the descriptions of how "amazing" "positive" "incredible" the young activists are in this book -- it's not clear to me how they actually got started or got into the position where they could make change. Simply listing: Issue + Gift = Change isn't enough for me. I was hoping to learn more about fundraising, networking, media, collaboration with other groups. But...worth a look. Maybe a good starting point.

Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change is an inspiring book about how to help our planet and the people on it. It includes 19 interviews with world leaders and changemakers, including Lilly Singh, Severn Cullis-Suzuki, Brad Montague, Malala, and many more. Momentus is a great book that covers a lot of issues in the world and shows how you can help to fix them. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for anyone who likes social justice or wants to make a change.

When I went to TIFF Kids a few years ago, Hannah was one of the speakers. It blew my mind how such a young person could be up there and making such a huge impact in the world. This book is an amazing example of how everyone can make a difference in the world in one way or another. Highly recommend

Wish I'd had this book when I was a teenager--it's the manual I always longed for. I suspect it would have given me the feeling that I could have done anything and I wouldn't have been doing it alone. Inspiring!
