A Bigger Picture: My Fight to Bring a New African Voice to the Climate Crisis by Vanessa Nakate is a transformative memoir that captivates and inspires readers to take action.

This powerful narrative delves into the pressing issues of climate change, highlighting the stark disparities in its impact on various communities, particularly in the Global South. Nakate's compelling account emphasizes that regardless of age, location, or background, everyone has a role to play in the fight for our planet.

In this enlightening book, Nakate shares her personal journey, recounting the painful experience of being cropped out of a photograph at Davos in 2020. This moment symbolizes the broader erasure of Black voices in critical climate discussions. Through her story, she illustrates how devastating realities like flooding, deforestation, and starvation affect vulnerable communities.

  • Empowerment: A Bigger Picture serves as a rallying cry, urging readers to demand change and protect the environment for future generations.
  • Critical Acclaim: Recognized by influential figures such as Greta Thunberg, Malala Yousafzai, and Angelina Jolie, Nakate stands out as an essential voice in the climate movement.
  • Inclusive Perspective: Her eloquent prose underscores the necessity of including marginalized voices in climate conversations, reminding us, “we are on the front line, but we are not on the front page.”

A Bigger Picture is not just a memoir; it is an essential guide to understanding the complex scope of climate change and your role in the movement. Join Vanessa Nakate in this urgent journey towards justice, and be inspired to rewrite the narrative around climate activism.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
