This book is a definite 4。5 stars！ Lockwood has done a beautiful job of sharing the stories of many of the people most closely impacted by climate change， focusing on individuals and their lived experiences， and not just the numbers。 The author does not insert herself into the stories that people share， letting them speak for themselves while weaving the stories together brilliantly。 I also loved reading about Lockwood's travels and personal journey - her approach to traveling alone， how was abl This book is a definite 4。5 stars！ Lockwood has done a beautiful job of sharing the stories of many of the people most closely impacted by climate change， focusing on individuals and their lived experiences， and not just the numbers。 The author does not insert herself into the stories that people share， letting them speak for themselves while weaving the stories together brilliantly。 I also loved reading about Lockwood's travels and personal journey - her approach to traveling alone， how was able to connect with people， and how she was able to ask for and receive support。 When the book dips into science， Lockwood keeps it at just the right level - clearly explained and not so much detail that my eyes glaze over。 Highly recommend！ Thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC。 。。。more

I have to admit that I admire that so much was done so young and so creatively by this author。 It took a lot of courage to travel （often biking） around the world wearing a sign that says， "Tell me a story about climate change。"The book got really exciting about 30% into it， when storytellers started to talk about things like floods and tsunamis。 The author had some real adventures on the sea and traveling to world conferences on climate change。 The beginning was a little slow to me。 The first se I have to admit that I admire that so much was done so young and so creatively by this author。 It took a lot of courage to travel （often biking） around the world wearing a sign that says， "Tell me a story about climate change。"The book got really exciting about 30% into it， when storytellers started to talk about things like floods and tsunamis。 The author had some real adventures on the sea and traveling to world conferences on climate change。 The beginning was a little slow to me。 The first section seemed more like a travel log with lots of motorbike riding and swimming， but， as I said， the excitement picks up later， especially when she learns how much her flying contributes to climate change and she seeks other ways to get from country to country。 There may not be 1，001 stories， but there were plenty of farmers and others who talked about the changes they've seen。 The conferences and climate marches were interesting， but I thought 100's of thousands of people flying to fight climate change can't be too good for the climate。 We need to find virtual ways to show our support for ways to protect our world。This book wouldn't exist if it hadn't been for the imagination and bravery of Ms。 Lockwood。 I look forward to more writing from her。 Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read a digital ARC of this book。 。。。more
