"Raw, undeniable, and tender--Little Apocalypses digs deep into what it means to parent in a heated world. Teer's voice holds both the ache of looming climate chaos and the unshakable hope that caring can change everything." --Kate Baer, New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman

"These radiant essays glow like embers cupped in two hands--tender, crackling with wonder, full of the small astonishments and seeds that flare even in our hardest seasons.

"How do we find the courage to love what we might lose? How do we gently but effectively face our greatest fears? Little Apocalypses is Kaitlyn Teer's graceful, incisive exploration of the intertwined experiences of motherhood and living on this planet. It's as quietly earth-shattering as it is tenderly hopeful." --Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich and Wreck

"Little Apocalypses is a beautifully wrought excavation of the love and fear that define a parents' relationship to their children and how that love and fear inform the particularity of a parent's grief and terror concerning the future of the planet. This is not a book about wistful hope, so much as it is an urgent call to be courageous enough to hope, and then steadfast enough to turn that hope into collective movement forward." --Sara Petersen, author of Momfluence

"Reading Little Apocalypses feels like taking a nourishing walk with a brilliant, compassionate, relentlessly curious friend. Kaitlyn Teer is a graceful guide through questions of care work and the climate crisis; subjects that, in her hands, transform into sites of hope for our collective future. Brimming with clear-eyed optimism and a palpable love of the land, Little Apocalypses refreshed my sense of wonder." --Tajja Isen, author of Some of My Best Friends

"Kaitlyn Teer writes with the rare ability to hold contradiction without flinching. Little Apocalypses is at once a tender reckoning with early motherhood and a sharp interrogation of the doomsday rhetoric that shapes how we think about our warming world, offering not answers but something better: new questions and the courage to sit with them. A beautiful balm for the soul. A must-read." --Chelsea Bieker, author of Madwoman and Godshot

"Whether you have a racing heart, a muddled mind, or firmly covered ears when it comes to climate change, Kaitlyn Teer's beautiful, lyrical, exquisitely researched book is a balm. She tackles what's actually happening with muscular hope and so much love for her family and the natural world. Just as daily life and existential threats are woven together, the essays move from her sudsy kitchen sink and family bicycle, to wildfires and hurricanes, then back for bean soup and bedtime stories. Powerful insights from philosophers, scientists, activists, and her own small children make this book feel as layered and rich as oceans and forests themselves; yet somehow her guidance feels collective and energizing, never overwhelming. Little Apocalypses feels like a hand slipping into yours as we look together toward the future." --Joanna Goddard, founder of Cup of Jo

"A tender and trenchant essay collection about motherhood and fears of the future." --Kirkus

"A must read for climate-conscious parents." --Publishers Weekly
