New York Times best-selling illustrator Danica Novgorodoff (Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel) and award-winning environmental journalist Meera Subramanian offer a comprehensive and hopeful guide on climate change, highlighting what you can do about it.

 

As climate change quickens—bringing with it extreme weather, biodiversity loss, and humanitarian crises—four teens help organize the world's largest climate protest. Hundreds of thousands join them, taking to the streets of New York City and demanding answers. How did climate change get this bad? Who's to blame? And most importantly: what can we do about it?

In their stunning graphic novel, New York Times best-selling illustrator Danica Novgorodoff and award-winning environmental journalist Meera Subramanian share experiences from their lives and the lives of the four youth activists who've witnessed climate change up close—from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest to floods in Bangladesh. Through their stories, we learn the science behind our changing planet and explore solutions at hand. They show us anyone can make meaningful change, because a better world is possible—and together, we can create it!
