Our strength rests in our knowing. Early on, we put our big brains to work to tame fire, and over eons, our discovery helped us grow. Just two centuries ago, we began using coal, oil, and gas--remnants of long-ago life hidden deep within a generous Earth--to fuel fire, light up our nights, and run machines. Fertilizers let us reuse the soil. Pesticides killed the competition. We even dreamed up a synthetic \"wonder\" material called plastic. But our big brains tuned out the devastating effects of these actions. Can our knowing unravel the greatest crisis we'll ever face? Stunning artwork evokes the climate emergency to scale in a third epic fusion of poetry and science from the author of \u003ci\u003eWe, the Curious Ones \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Stuff of Stars\u003c\/i\u003e. Packed with hopeful action points, this portrait of a planet in peril is a plea to reconnect with our home, the source of all life, and a rallying cry for a generation coming of age just in time to turn things around.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarion Dane Bauer\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning author of more than one hundred books for young people, including \u003ci\u003eWe, the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCurious Ones\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by the husband-and-wife artist duo Hari and Deepti; \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eStuff of Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Ekua Holmes; and the Newbery Honor Book\u003ci\u003e On My Honor. \u003c\/i\u003eA former faculty member of the Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults, she now writes full-time.
