Amy and the Tortoise

"Amy and the Tortoise" is an environmental cautionary tale for young readers. Combining vibrant images with compelling storytelling, this book shares our world's bleak future if humanity does not put a lid on global warming. It is illustrated with Leben's surrealistic imagery, tempering the message with the humorous solutions offered by technocrats called bald-headed suiters. Although the content is relevant for all ages, the book is aimed at mid-grade kids to raise awareness of the environmental problems that are plaguing our world. The story of "Amy and the Tortoise" was also produced as a movie by John Leben, the author and illustrator. The movie version is also published at the end of the book as a QR code for readers who would also like to watch the movie.
