Chelsea Clinton to release her first book

As a child, Chelsea Clinton was an avid environmentalist, and with her new book, she's looking to inspire a new generation of kids to take care of the planet.

It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going will touch on big issues like climate change, poverty, and homelessness while sharing stories about kids and teenagers making a difference at home and in the world. The book is due out Sept. 15, and is targeted to readers between the ages of 10 and 14. "That's the age when I started tuning in more to issues I cared about and trying to make a difference," Clinton told People. "I loved the book 50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to Save the Earth and remember wishing there were books like that on other issues I cared about. This book is my attempt to do that for kids today."

Clinton said that while she had the idea for the book before becoming pregnant with her daughter, Charlotte, now seven months, she knew she had to write it once Charlotte was born. "I wanted my daughter to grow up in a world where kids are informed about what's happening, feel empowered to make a difference, and ultimately take responsibility on issues they care about," she said. "Now, being a mom, somehow I care even more intensely about trying to make that happen."
