A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its
causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll
gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalised communities across the globe. But all is
not lost - there's still time for each and every one of us to make
a difference. Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany
Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to
fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over
profit. The planet is not protected if all its inhabitants are not;
the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls
to action to get you thinking and to grow your knowledge. All you
need is a pen and a piece of paper. With kaleidoscopic and vibrant
illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
we can all build a better world. Other titles in the list include
This Book is Feminist and This Book is Anti-Racist.

Being tiny is tough! You can't reach the highest shelf where the
cookie jar sits, and the big kids always steal your lunchtime
snacks. Don't get me started on going to theme parks, you can never

didn't suck at all? But was in fact really, really cool. Focus your
eyes on the world of micro animals and learn what it's like to be
so small. Discover how these tiny creatures stay safe, or hunt for
their lunch. Zoom in on their superpowers, like having the ability
to shoot microscopic darts, spring-loaded jumps which take them to
incredible heights or the amazing ways in which tiny hunters defend
themselves from much bigger creatures. Maybe it's not so tough to
be tiny after all!
