The Children’s Spot
A snapshot review of a book related to the Non-fiction Feature
Also in this Weekly Bulletin:
The Non-fiction Feature: How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm
The Product Spot: Patagonia’s Worn Wear Program
The Pithy Take
This book, inspired by the Indigenous-led movements across North America to protect water and sacred grounds from the installation of oil pipelines, is rhythmic, gorgeous, and moving. The book shows that children know not only the importance of protecting access to clean water, but also that they can fight for it, too.
Now the black snake is here.
Its venom burns the land.
Courses through the water,
Making it unfit to drink.
