Following the highly-acclaimed, Milk Without Honey, Hanna Harms continues to address nature conservation by visualizing the diverse aspects of our current situation in poetic images, and with unflinching honesty in her new nonfiction graphic novel—this time with the focus on the vital importance of trees and forests. What distinguishes the different forests around the world, what problems exist, and where is intervention long overdue? Particularly endangered ecosystems such as the rainforest will be address in the question: What must humans do, and above all, what must we refrain from doing, in order to protect and preserve the ecosystems that are so important to us?
A graphic novel that not only encourages reflection also serves as a call to action.
“Through elegant yellow and black illustrations, Harms's powerful English-language debut traces the ecosystems that pollinators inhabit—and exposes the dangers that threaten their existence. . . Readers will be convinced by this firm and vibrantly drawn warning call."—Starred Review in Publishers Weekly
“Through these beautiful pages, we can see the impact that both insects and humans have on the world around us. This story details insect loss while informing us about important and fascinating aspects of bee and other pollinator biology. A meaningful journey through a world with and without pollinators, and a recentering of insects as vital parts of our ecosystems.”—Dr. Jessica L. Ware, curator and division chair of Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History
