Our House is on Fire

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A profoundly moving story of how love, courage and determination brought a family back from the brink.

This is the story of a happy family whose life suddenly fell apart, never to be the same again. Of two devoted parents plunged into a waking nightmare as their eleven-year-old daughter stopped speaking and eating, and her younger sister struggled to cope.

This crisis was not theirs alone—they were burned-out people on a burned-out planet.

Our House is on Fire is the story of how one family found ways to strengthen, heal, and gain courage from the love they had for each other—and for the living world. It is a parable of hope and determination in an emergency that affects us all.

About the Author

Greta Thunberg is a climate crisis activist from Sweden. In August 2018, she decided not to go to school one day, starting a strike outside the Swedish Parliament. Her actions sparked a global movement to fight the climate crisis, inspiring millions of students to go on strike for our planet. Greta has Asperger's and considers it a gift which has enabled her to see the climate crisis in "black and white." She has won the prestigious Prix Liberte, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and was selected as Time's Person of the Year in 2019. She is the author of the bestseller No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference. Together with her mother, the celebrated opera singer Malena Ernman, her sister, Beata Ernman, and her father, Svante Thunberg, she has dedicated her life to protecting the living planet.
