The story was inspired in part by the author’s own feelings of overwhelm and worry about climate change and in response to what children were telling her about their worries and concerns about the planet. In the novel, Clarice faces her family and the world with her usual brand of cheerful optimism and curiosity even when things appear impossible to fix. But it is seeing what is possible that gets Clarice through as she learns how making a small change, can make things better for everyone.
