A review by kaitlinmcnabb
The World As We Knew It by Tajja Isen, Amy Brady

4.0

This book, expectantly, is a tough read! There is no leaving on an uplifting note because everything is urgent and real. However, while it did put fear into me, the collection also made me think about my connection with nature, capitalism and community and stoke action rather than just fear. I found Elizabeth Rush's way on Antarctica particularly moving.

It's nuts that climate change and the pandemic continue to displace and harm tons of people and we're like "okay this is fine." And just go about our day. This book made me scream what's it gonna take until I realize how complicit I am. So what's it gonna take?
