About
"An extraordinary account of how one family rose, with unshakable moral clarity, to the tremendous responsibility of being alive at the moment when our immediate collective decisions will determine the fate of life on Earth. They share their story of courage not because they want our accolades, but because they demand our company. Greta Thunberg has already inspired a global moment-this book is part of how we will win." -Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything.
When climate activist Greta Thunberg was eleven, her parents Malena and Svante, and her little sister Beata, were facing a crisis in their own home. Greta had stopped eating and speaking, and her mother and father reconfigured their lives to care for her. Greta's desperate parents came to realize that-alongside her diagnosis of Asperger's-there was another more pressing source of her distress: her imperiled future on a rapidly heating planet.
Steered by Greta's determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet's. In Our House Is On Fire-co-written by a remarkable family and told through the lens of an iconoclastic mother-a family discovers that their struggles at home can be healed by taking global action. And Greta, understanding that there are no gray areas when it comes to the survival of the planet, decides to go on strike from school, igniting a worldwide rebellion..
