Ever wondered what a glacier thinks about climate change? Or what dandelions really feel about your lawn care routine? In this wildly inventive illustrated collection, nature finally gets to speak for itself. Twenty-six interconnected micro-tales, each two paragraphs long and each with a full-page illustration, give voice to the secret lives, petty grievances and existential musings of Earth’s inhabitants.
Meet a penguin running underground dance parties after the documentary crews leave. A lichen contemplating its three-century relationship with its fungal partner. A raccoon treating locked garbage bins like engineering puzzles. An ancient uranium ore with commitment issues. And a surprisingly self-aware human, trying to make sense of its own place in the ecosystem.
Warning: may cause unexpected empathy for weeds and renewed respect for bacteria.
