"Helpful and hopeful." —John Green, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars
A Better World Is Possible is a comprehensive and graphic novel guide on climate change and 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 those of the four youth activists. Through their stories, we learn the science behind our changing planet and explore solutions at hand. They show us that anyone can make meaningful change, because a better world is possible—and together, we can create it!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Environmental journalist Subramanian (A River Runs Again) and Novgorodoff (Mid-Air) pack a wealth of information into this compact graphic novel primer to climate change and environmental stewardship. Beginning with the September 2019 Climate March in New York City, the creators intertwine personal stories of their own climate-awareness awakenings—spreads of nine-year-old Novgorodoff convey a childhood spent enjoying "big trees, a crystal-clear stream, birdsong in the summer, deep snows in the winter"—with global experiences contextualized via individual profiles of four young environmental activists: Mexican Xiye Bastida, Colombian American Jamie Margolin, Bangladeshi American Rebeca Sabnam, and Indian American Shiv Soin. Periodic interludes offer extensive deep-dives that define climate change, wildfires, ecological grief, and environmental justice, and examine related issues such as religious communities' impact on the climate. Digitally inked and painted pencil, watercolor, and gouache sketches bring a bright, uplifting energy to an accessible guide that explores the myriad ways through which one can become involved in the larger environmental movement. Climate action resources conclude. Characters are depicted with varying skin tones. Ages 14–up.
