Bright New World by Cindy Forde
A new take on environmental and social awareness that focuses on the amazing possible future rather than just the negatives, in order to inspire children to take action against climate change, poverty, inequality and pollution.
'Magical, this makes me wish I were a child again, as I can see the world does have a bright future' -- Arizona Muse, model, activist, founder of DIRT
'As Naomi Klein once said: "The more sparks the fire has, the brighter it will burnI invite you to add your spark." This is exactly what this beautiful book is about: inspiring children and their families to build a better world for the people and the planet. Cindy Forde gives us all the keys and solutions for an exciting future of justice, equality and sustainability in which no one is left behind. With marvellous illustrations from Bethany Lord, this is a call to action and a real message of hope: we can do it all together, we have the power to make change' -- Princess Esméralda of Belgium, author, activist, journalist
'Imagine you're young. That you care passionately about the natural world and its people. Then imagine that all you ever see are stories about the destruction of that world, of pollution, of disappearing species, of worsening climate change. Eco-angst spreads like a disempowering poison. And then imagine that this horizon could be filled with stories of hope, of courageous campaigners, of a world protected, restored and loved – for young and old alike. Welcome to Bright New World – a marvellously inspirational reimagining of a better future from Cindy Forde and Bethany Lord' -- Jonathon Porritt, CBE, author, campaigner, founder of Forum for the Future
'A joyous abundance of a book with hope dripping off the page. I'd like every young person to have it and every older person to have the recipe for this cocktail of delight at their fingertips!' -- Sir Tim Smit, author, co-founder of the Eden Project
'The future could be wildly different. It needs to be for our planet to be restored to health. Cindy Forde and Bethany Lord's inspirational Bright New World shows young people that a wilder, better future is closer than we think – in fact it is within their generation's grasp' -- Charles Clover, author, co-founder of the Blue Marine Foundation
'Children hold the answer to protecting our planet. They are born with love, compassion, and a profound understanding of our interconnectedness. They don't see racial boundaries, social or economic differences but society teaches them those things. And then we lose our connectivity to the planet. This book shows the Bright New World we can have to restore, regenerate and truly care for the planet with hope and love' -- Antoinette Vermilye, founder of the Gallifrey Foundation
