When Tomorrow Burns
By Tae Keller
How much can I possibly love this book? Tae Keller brings to life three characters with storylines so complex and real that each could carry a novel of their own. When Tomorrow Burns is wonderfully Seattle-centric, in a way that serves and loves the city not as a placeholder, but as a story that could only take place in the upper echelons of the Pacific Northwest. Tae's skill, intensity, and empathy about how we communicate with kids about the climate crisis is both remarkable and discerning, taking into consideration the many difficulties of being a young person that are, too, world-shattering, and sometimes more immediate than an uncontrolled forest fire. This is a book that I guarantee will be taught in nearly every age-appropriate classroom in the Northwest, and elsewhere. What a wonderful, remarkable story—with cameos from the Seattle Public Library and Seattle's famous underground tour!
