This book is a clarion call to all who care about our planet’s future and what they can do to help. Written by Santa Fe middle-schoolers Marina Weber and Joanna Whysner, The Global Warming Express illustrates, through playful animal characters, some of the greatest challenges our Earth is facing.

In the book, the girls jump on board a magical train fueled by hope that’s headed to see the President in Washington, DC. Along the way, they witness such calamities for the planet as the tar sands of Canada, the Gulf Coast oil spill, and the dangers of fracking. Endangered animals join them to spread the word about their precarious situations.

It not only entertains but also informs with facts and science about the environment. All aboard the Global Warming Express as ‘The Fluff and friends’ travel to save our beautiful planet from pollution and global warming.
