a new and original story of climate change and how to respond to it.


This nonfiction picture book offers a new and original story of climate change and how to respond to it. The lyrical narrative, gorgeous illustrations, and information-rich sidebars are built around the central concept of Earth Overshoot Day, the date each year when humanity has used all the resources the planet can regenerate in the entire year. In 2022 that date is July 28th—everything we consume and discard from then to December 31 is borrowed from the future. Listen to the Earth describes and illustrates in child-welcoming terms the global societal changes and actions that will push Earth Overshoot Day toward the end of the year to make our planet sustainable. In this call to action, the difficult path ahead is illuminated by an optimistic faith in kids.

Carme Lemniscates

Carme Lemniscates is an award-winning author, illustrator, and designer of children’s books who sees each book project as a complete undertaking in which the text, illustrations, and graphic design converge with the same spirit from beginning to end.

Her mixed media works combine monotype, collage, woodcut, and digital media. In 2010 she founded Lemniscates Studio in her home city of Barcelona to create her own children’s book projects, which she both writes and illustrates.

She has since published nine books in Spain, the United States, and Brazil. Her book Silence won a 2012 ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Bronze Award, and her app Little Lost Rabbit Finds a Family was selected as one of the best children’s storybook apps by Kirkus Reviews in 2012. In 2016 she won the Serra d'Or Critics’ Award for Arbres, published in the UK as Trees by Walker Studio.
