New book for Megan Herbert

February 21, 2022

Congratulations to author and illustrator Megan Herbert on the publication of

The Tantrum That Saved the World

a picture book for 5 - 9 year olds co-written with Michael E Mann and published by North Atlantic Books / PRH

An inspirational, beautifully illustrated picture book for kids aged 5 to 9, The Tantrum That Saved the World is part environmental story, part ode to community action, and part blueprint for building a better world—together, for all of us.

Originally a self-published title, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017, this book was subsequently picked up by North Atlantic Books for a release in a revised, updated edition.
