About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking difficult questions about the environment or feels overwhelmed by news about the changing climate. It offers a way to move past abstract statistics and see the human face of global warming through two relatable young protagonists. The story follows Sami in the Indian Ocean and Suki in the Canadian Arctic, both of whom are fighting to protect their homes and traditions in a rapidly shifting world. While the stakes are high and the dangers are real, the book focuses on the bravery and resilience of children rather than just the tragedy of the situation. It is an excellent choice for middle grade readers who enjoy high stakes adventure but are ready to engage with real world social and environmental issues. It provides a balanced perspective that acknowledges the fear of the unknown while celebrating the courage it takes to face it.
