Quatrième de couverture

Climate change and resource depletion are already starting to change our lives. Today's children will be the principal victims of these profound changes. If they are to cope with these problems, they must understand them. This book, in the form of an illustrated story or "comic book," can help provide the first steps.

Hugo and Elodie meet Maddy, the spirit of a species of butterfly now extinct because humans destroyed its habitat. The magical butterfly invites the children onto its wings for a ride all over the world. They observe the results of climate change: heat waves and droughts, storms and floods, melting glaciers and the rising sea. They learn about the effects of hothouse gases, fossil fuels, the promise of energy without carbon emissions, and actions that can reduce our ecological footprint. They meet young activists who march, sing, write, give talks, make videos and lobby, to educate children and adults about climate change.

Back home, the children start to do their own research. Then they call their friends to join them in a universal march under the slogan, "Let's Save Our Planet."

I believe that if we want to reverse global warming before it's too late, it will take a revolution. A revolution to change the mindset of every person on this planet, so that we value nature and the future of our generation more than profits and power. - Alec Loorz, young founder of the iMatter mouvement

It is remarkable that a butterfly, a symbol of lightness and fragility, warns the children of the dangers facing the planet. May his voice be heard, and may humanity make its presence on the Earth lighter in their numbers as well as their consumption. - Didier Barthes, spokesman of Démographie Responsable

Wonderful! Combines loves of life on our planet with common sense and knowledge - all understandable and interesting to a child. I will give it to my grandchildren. - James Hansen, Director, Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions Program, Columbia University; Former Director, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies; Author of "Storms of my Grandchildren"
