The Tide Is Rising, So Are We! is an inspiring picture
book in verse that invites readers into the sweeping story of
the climate justice movement and offers a framework for hope
and action. Written by climate activist Rabbi Shoshana Meira
Friedman, this book speaks to readers' spiritual and emotional
needs. How do we grieve, organize, and express our love for the
world all at once? How do we find our own place in the climate
movement at this late hour?
With climate anxiety at an all-time high, this book does not
put the solution to the environmental crisis on the child-
reader's shoulders. Instead, it tells the story of an already-
vibrant movement the child can join in their own way. Readers
will discover a sense of interconnection--with the natural
world and the millions of people around the globe fighting for
a livable planet. Friedman's uplifting text and Kiki Kita's
lush illustrations will propel readers to move into action from
a place of joy.
This book is an indispensable companion for new and seasoned
activists of all ages, and for anyone concerned about the
climate crisis. It is based on the song "The Tide Is Rising," a
popular climate anthem Rabbi Shoshana Meira Friedman co-wrote
with her husband, Yotam Schachter. Simple sheet music is
included in the back matter so readers can learn to sing the
original song too. "The Tide Is Rising" has been sung at
countless protests, marches, religious conferences and
congregations, and community gatherings. From Standing Rock to
holding cells in police stations and across at least three
continents, The song spreads a message of radical empowerment,
devotion, and active hope.
Book, 40 pages.
