Hanna Harms – författare

We could live in a paradise where insects, especially bees, pollinate fragrant oceans of flowers whose fruits we harvest. Instead, patio wastelands and utilitarian lawns are now displacing flower gardens, and agriculture is dominated by monocultures. Pesticides and climate change are also causing insect mortality, with dramatic consequences for the global ecosystem. If this carries on unchecked, honey will be just one of the many foodstuffs no longer available to us – unless we learn to honour our innate connection with nature before it’s too late.Milk Without Honey is a poignant and provocative graphic novel about the plight of the bees in which illustrator Hanna Harms inspires not only reflection but also action.

What would the future of the world look like without forests?Following the highly-acclaimed, Milk Without Honey, Hanna Harms continues to address nature conservation by visualizing the diverse aspects of our current situation in poetic images, and with unflinching honesty in her new nonfiction graphic novel—this time with the focus on the vital importance of trees and forests. What distinguishes the different forests around the world, what problems exist, and where is intervention long overdue? Particularly endangered ecosystems such as the rainforest will be address in the question: What must humans do, and above all, what must we refrain from doing, in order to protect and preserve the ecosystems that are so important to us?A graphic novel that not only encourages reflection also serves as a call to action.
