Description
Book Synopsis
A timely and inspiring nonfiction guide for middle grade readers about the history of our fight against climate change, and how young people today are rising to action.
Inspired by Nathaniel Rich's Losing Earth: A Recent History, the acclaimed book that grew out of an August 2018 issue of the New York Times Magazine solely dedicated to it, Saving Earth tells the human story of the climate change conversation from the recent past into the present day. It wrestles with the long shadow of our failures, what might be ahead for today's generation, and crucial questions of how we understand the world we live in--and how we can work together to change the outlook for the better. Written by acclaimed author Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich and enlivened with illustrations from Tim Foley, and filled with the voices of climate activists from the past and present, this book is both a call to action and a riveting dramatic history. A Junior Library Guild SelectionReview Quotes
"A caustic indictment of this country's foot-dragging response to the threat of climate disaster, paired with a rising international chorus of younger voices raised in protest . . . In language as acerbic as the famously take-no-prisoners activist Greta Thunberg's, Rhuday-Perkovich draws from Nathaniel Rich's terrifying Losing Earth (2019). . . Readers will be jolted out of any sense of complacency." --Kirkus Reviews
