1 STAR REVIEW

I’m not the one who gets bothered easily with reviews. I had my share of them and some I took on board and I improved my books, it’s a learning process. We are entitled to our personal opinion and I never comment on the reviews. But this one… This one got under my skin…

“No such Thing As “Climate Change”, It’s Weather. Childrens books shouldn’t include leftist propaganda such as “climate change”...

And it was interesting. I asked myself why it bothers me so much…
I wrote “Tree Full of Wonder” to give a voice to those who don’t have it. To show the unbreakable bond between people and trees. To allow children to fall in love with nature.
I believe in freedom of speech, the freedom of an individual to articulate their opinion. And maybe this person is right, maybe climate change doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s just a made-up phrase. I know that there is no one “truth”, that every truth is just a perception of someone’s world and even science can be subjective. I get that. But surely climate change should be our experience already. When you walk in the forest and when you walk in the city, the quality of air is different. The city is always warmer during summer, but it feels almost like artificial heat.… I mean, that’s real. It’s not made up.
And if we say “climate change” is not real, what will be next? Will we reject the idea of deforestation? Pollution of the oceans? Coral reefs dying around the world? Is it because we don’t want to see it? Because we are afraid of change?
And I think the time came when we must take the stand and start taking care of nature. Start facing the consequences of our choices. Even if it means a less comfortable life. Even if it means we must sacrifice some things we love. Because by stating that nothing bad happens to our natural world, we head towards a disaster. Saying climate change doesn’t exist also contradicts the lives of so many wonderful people who tried to open our eyes to the beauty of our world, of nature, and the damage we cause.

Many wonderful activists in the UK are trying to change our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. Their life mission is to find a more sustainable way of living. And I admire them for that. 
Are all those people wrong?
My conclusion is that if it means that my book includes leftist propaganda such as “climate change”, then I am proud of that. I am proud of imprinting children with ideas on how to improve the world we are living in. How to plant more trees and take care of our planet. And if that means I will get bad reviews like that, I am ok with it, because it’s for a good cause.
