27 April 2021 | Episode 84: Earth Day

Caroline Carpenter and Charlie Morris celebrate Earth Day by reaching for their binoculars and exploring the thriving world of children's books about nature and the environment. Joining us on our ramble through the library shelves are Lauren James: YA author and founder of the Climate Fiction Writers' League, and Dr Jess French: qualified vet, TV presenter and non-fiction author of children's books. After airing our shared trauma of The Animals of Farthing Wood, we discuss beloved encyclopaedias, terrifying dystopias, and reflect on some more positive visions of the planet's future. Plus, we all share a book that's been making us happy this month.
