What happens when the temperature everyone's been talking about finally arrives? 121 is a picture book for kids - and the adults who read to them - about the number climate scientists have long pointed to as a tipping point, and what it means when a story treats that number as real. Told through vivid illustrations and simple, honest language, it opens up a conversation that's often avoided: what is actually happening to our planet, and what can we still do about it? Written for readers ages 6 to 70, 121 works as a bedtime read, a classroom discussion-starter, or a quiet conversation between generations. It doesn't shy away from the truth, but it leaves room for hope - the kind that comes from understanding a problem clearly enough to act on it. A thoughtful gift for young readers, teachers, and anyone who wants to talk about climate change honestly with the kids in their life.
