Description
The Earth is changing fast — but the animals have a plan.
Gorilla is noticing changes all around.
Something isn’t right. The days are hotter. It’s raining more than usual.
The forest is shrinking. Are animals in other parts of the world experiencing changes too?
There is only one way to find out.
“DEAR HUMANS: A LETTER FROM THE ANIMALS takes us into an emergency meeting among the
animals to confront a crisis: the increasing destruction of their habitat. The animals wonder why humans are not doing more to protect the planet. But the answer is not as simple as they might think, and the solution may lie in the wisdom and creativity of humans themselves. With both humour and unflinching candidness, Dear Humans plunges us into an urgent conversation, inviting readers of all ages to engage in constructive dialogue about our relationship to the natural world.” — Andrew Katz, author of I Just Want to Be Super!
