Although this book is fiction, it offers actual solutions to the very real issues of the climate crisis and environmental racism. In this book, people who are responsible for egregious greenhouse gas emissions are ejected from the planet. The “Ejected” unite around the mission to decrease emission levels, so the world can support them once again. Will they manage to implement the solutions in time to return to their loved ones?
Written by an award-winning author and a licensed teacher, Dawn Pape has a history of weaving serious problems with humor to create memorable stories that inspire action. This entertaining book doubles as an educational manual on how to end the climate crisis—perfect for individuals and classroom teachers.
The author hopes this book will bring the critical solutions outlined in the book into daily conversations that will unite people around taking action. Without solidarity, our trajectory is headed toward a climate unfit for humans within the foreseeable future. Why is there any hesitation in getting started?
Defenders of the Future—Tackle Today’s Water Troubles. A Story with Lessons, Activities, and Resources for Grades 3+ / written by Dawn Pape, illustrated by Lisa Sacchi.
Since this story is filled with dense content and big issues, the author suggests following the book’s layout and reading only a few pages of the story at a time followed by a corresponding activity delineated by dotted borders to help the students absorb the information before moving on to the next “mission.”
This book doesn’t dance around real-world water challenges, but faces them head on. Combining science and social studies, the defenders of the future characters interact with the talking water cycle character. The story reveals how, even though humans are negatively impacting the water cycle, regular people (like your students!) can use their super strengths to turn these challenges around.

Instead of money going to big retailers, why shouldn’t it go to your organization?
How the Fundraiser Works:
Your organization buys the books wholes (50% off the suggested retail price plus shipping fees, if applicable) and resells them. It’s that simple.
Please note, to be eligible for wholesale pricing, a minimum of 5 copies of one title must be purchased.
There are two ways to place a wholesale order.
1. Fill out the form and be invoiced for your order.
2. Set up an account directly with the distributor, IngramSpark and pay with a credit card when placing the order. With this method, you have more options for choosing your delivery method.
