About
In her debut collection of comics, artist and climate activist Madeleine Jubilee Saito offers a quietly radical message of hope.
Framed as a letter in response to a loved one's pain, this series of ethereal vignettes takes readers on a journey from seemingly inescapable isolation and despair, through grief and rage, toward the hope of community and connection.
Drawing on her faith as well as the traditions of climate and disability justice, Saito reminds readers that if we're going to challenge fossil fuel capitalism, we must first imagine what lies beyond it: The beauty and joy of a healed world.

"We will only walk into a healing ecological future if we learn to metabolize our grief, hold space in our hearts for hope, and live out of our love for the world. This book is a gift along the path."
Krista Tippett
"Madeleine Jubilee Saito has given us a singular gift. At once gentle and piercing, spare and profound, her artistry breaks open hearts, releasing rivers of love for what is--and grief for what is already lost."
Naomi Klein
"Saito reached a hand into some of my very own darkest climate crisis-induced depressive thoughts and drew me gently back into the light. We are all part of this natural world, and we are meant to be here, and it is good that we are here. Those things can be hard to remember sometimes, but these delicate comics underline their truth."
