Wonder Tales for a Warming Planet is a collection of short stories about ordinary young children trying to make sense of a planet under extraordinary threat. Chaudhuri’s playful world-building holds subtle allegories about the perils of climate change that will encourage budding readers to think about their contribution to the environment and the power of collective action. Grappling with concepts ranging from renewable energy sources and growing urbanisation, to sustainable ways of coexisting with nature, this book offers three striking tales of climate fiction that will make you pause, wonder, and reimagine the world you live in.
