Imagining a parallel planet with 2 moons can give new perspectives on climate change, says author
CECIL on CBC’s Day Six programme
Sometimes looking at something from a different angle can give a new perspective, and Canadian author Cecil Castellucci hopes her new graphic novel can be an avenue for that in the fight against climate change.
Shifting Earth tells the story of botanist Dr. Maeve Millay, who gets transported by a freak particle storm to an idyllic Earth with two moons.
Castellucci is an award-winning YA novelist, musician and director. Her other books include Shade, Odd Duck and Star Wars Moving Target. She has also written Batgirl for DC Comics.
Day 6 host Brent Bambury spoke with Castellucci about her new book, writing about hope, and inspiring a path toward climate action. Here's part of that conversation.
