GLSC April Program: Danica Novgorodoff presents her new graphic novel, A Better World Is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis.

Please join us April 21, 7:00 p.m., at the United Crescent Hill Ministries building, 150 State St., 40206 when Danica Novgorodoff will present her new graphic novel, A Better World Is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis. She will discuss her artistic practice, the process of collaborating with a climate journalist, and approaches to turning complex climate data into colorful and engaging stories for audiences of all ages.

In their stunning graphic novel, A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis, New York Times best-selling illustrator Danica Novgorodoff and award-winning environmental journalist Meera Subramanian share experiences from their lives and the lives of the four youth activists who’ve witnessed climate change up close—from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest to floods in Bangladesh. Woven through the stories are deeply researched and fact-checked interludes that explore climate science, environmental justice, biodiversity, and more, along with— of course—solutions! They show us anyone can make meaningful change, because a better world is possible—and together, we can create it.

Danica Novgorodoff is an artist, writer, and New York Times best-selling illustrator. Her books include the graphic novel Long Way Down, written by Jason Reynolds; the cookbook The Simple Art of Rice; and the picture book Alexander von Humboldt: Explorer, Naturalist, and Environmental Pioneer. In 2022, Danica was awarded the Yoto Kate Greenaway Medal, the UK’s most prestigious award for children’s book illustration. She is on the board of the Cofan Survival Fund, working to protect a million acres of Amazon rainforest through Indigenous stewardship in Ecuador, was on the steering committee of the Save Bernheim Now group, and was a co-leader of 350 Brooklyn's Stop the Money Pipeline action group. Her new graphic novel, A Better World is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis, was co-created with climate journalist Meera Subramanian.
