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.
