Santa Soaked: Environmental Picture Book

 

Carl Lindemann’s Santa Soaked: A Story for All Ages is a magical story about the one thing that connects all of us – our climate. It brings the spirit of conversation about climate change to life, with a focus on conversations between children and their parents. Santa Soaked is for the rising legions of young climate activists – whatever their age.

This illustrated children’s book is an interfaith, inclusive call for youth empowerment and generational justice where Santa is turned from his current role as patron saint of consumerism into a climate champion! It is designed to operate as the cornerstone of readings that draw families and neighbours into the cause.

No matter what your age or beliefs, we hope you’ll join us in “Santa Soaked” this holiday season. It’s an opportunity to learn about climate change and to help support action. Santa is on the move. Are you ready to join him?

Praise for Santa Soaked

“Santa Soaked provides a climate change message which fully conveys the reality, but in a way that shows how youth can and must be the agency for the future.” – Liziwe McDaid, Strategic Lead, The Green Connection; 2018 Goldman Environmental Award recipient, Africa.

“Climate change is a global problem with local impact. What better way to illustrate its effects than by engaging the children? …It calls us to action is a way that expresses our deepest, authentic beliefs and values. I hope the whole world reads this. It is indeed a gift to the world.”
