Abstract
Funny Bone is a novel engaging with Climate Change and Capitalism. The book is specifically interested in how children all over the world are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change, and yet they have no say in Environmental Policies. How did we get here as a civilization and where do we go from here?
