GLOBAL chosen for 2024 Read for Empathy Collection

Eoin, Gio, and I are delighted that our new graphic novel GLOBAL, about climate change and its impacts on children around the world, has been chosen for the 2024 Read for Empathy collection. (Quick shameless plug – The paperback edition is newly out in the UK.)

They describe GLOBAL as “an extraordinary graphic novel exploring the devastating impact of climate change from the perspective of two very different young people on opposite sides of the globe, in India and Canada. This engaging book will trigger deep discussions about empathy for the environment.”

We are grateful to the Empathy Lab judges for picking GLOBAL and for all the excellent work they do in schools and with children elsewhere. Huge thanks to them. There are more details below about their work using books to encourage empathy in readers below.
