Our House Is on Fire : Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis, Greta Thunberg & Others
€5.00

Quay Books
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 had reconfigured their lives to care for her. Desperate and searching for answers, her parents discovered what was at the heart of Greta's 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.
Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action. And it is the story of how Greta decided to go on strike from school, igniting a worldwide rebellion.
“An urgent, lucid, courageous account. . . . [E]veryone with an interest in the future of the planet should read this book. It is a clear-headed diagnosis. It is a glimpse of a saner world. It is fertile with hope.” - The Guardian
“An impassioned call to action and a vulnerable family portrait of neurodiversity.” - Kirkus
