We have a dream – Mya-Rose Craig

Meet 30 young indigenous people and people of colour protecting the planet, our climate and demanding change in the book we have a dream by Mya-Rose Craig!

Indigenous people and people of colour are disproportionately affected by climate change, yet often aren’t heard in global conversation. In this book, British—Bangladeshi environmentalist and race activist ‘Birdgirl’ Mya-Rose Craig speaks to campaigners from around the world about what needs to be done.

From wildlife conservation to clean water, air pollution to plastic waste, climate justice to climate strikes, the time has come to listen to a generation of young people of colour demanding urgent change for the world they will inherit.

We have a dream is published by Magic Cat Publishing and is recommended for children aged 7 to 10 years.
