The Tantrum That Saved the World

An environmental picture book about finding your voice, taking collective action, and saving the planet for kids ages 5 - 9.

Tantrums are bad--except when they save the world!

Sophia's minding her own business when--bing bong!--the doorbell announces an unexpected guest: a polar bear. Despite Sophia's protests, he walks right in, making himself at home. His ice cap is melting--where else is he supposed to go?

Soon, more visitors arrive: a dispirited sea turtle and farmers whose lands have gone dry are joined by confused bees, more climate refugees, and a grumpy Bengal tiger. Sophia is frustrated and confused. She doesn't understand why they showed up at her house...or what any of this has to do with her.

But as Sophia hears their stories, she learns that this is her fight, too...and discovers the power of collective action, the strength of her own voice, and how all of us are stronger together.
