The summer of Drawn to Change the World Graphic Novel Collection: 16 Youth Climate Activists, 16 Artists (2023) by Emma Reynolds and 16 illustrators. The summer of 2023 is one of the hottest on record. High temperature records have been set and/or broken by the score all across the United States and most of the world. Ocean temperatures are rising with reports of the waters around Florida in the mid to high 90s, i.e. bath water temperatures. The idea of global warming can be argued against by dozens and dozens of people, but they are just adding unneeded hot air to the issue. Something has to be done now before the temperatures rise next year and the year after, etc., etc., etc. This graphic novel of a book literally illustrates the lives of 16 young people, out of many, many thousands or more, who have decided to take the future into their own hands. Be it making building materials from recycled plastic waste to cleaning the waters, or planting trees in an effort to reforest the planet, one sapling at a time, more if possible, they are tireless in their efforts. Stopping coal mine expansion in Australia or getting clean water in Pakistan and other countries, these are just some of the programs the young of the world have been working to completion. Look around your town, city, county or state and you can find similar young people, and many older folks, all working to fight the waste of governments and corporations, one act at a time. This is an inspiring book, complete with full color panels illustrating the who, what and where, not to mention the how, of these 16 outstanding young people who have embraced a world view with a hope for a better tomorrow....more
