This insightful book, published in association with Friends of the Earth Ireland, explores the profound connection between humanity and our planet, tracing the story of how our actions have shaped the world. It delves into the complexities of climate change, presenting a narrative that encompasses our civilization and its environmental impact, from the stark reality of wildfires to the enduring presence of glaciers, and from the conflicts of war to the resilience of wilderness.

Written by the best-selling and award-winning author and illustrator Oisín McGann, this guide is more than just an explanation of a global challenge; it is an invitation to actively participate in solutions. McGann, who previously served as the Irish writer-in-residence for Weather Stations, an EU-funded project focused on using storytelling to raise climate change awareness, brings his extensive experience to this work. He has continued this mission through school residencies, supported by Poetry Ireland Writers in Schools and Irish Aid’s WorldWise Global Schools. The book is structured to answer fundamental questions such as what climate change is, how it can be mitigated, and what role young people can play in this crucial fight. It is lauded for its informative and conversational style, evoking wonder at our planet's beauty while offering practical advice. Reviewers from The Meath Chronicle, Kirkus, and Portland Book Review have praised its engaging presentation of science-based facts in an accessible format, highlighting its innovative approach to explaining the current climate crisis. Furthermore, this publication is designed with sustainability in mind, utilizing vegan inks, recycled materials, and being fully recyclable, embodying a commitment to being part of the solution.
