Ina and the Polar bear club – a book about climate action and hope
In 2022, Johanna Flood had just handed in her resignation letter. She needed time to listen to her own thoughts after years in a global leadership position. That same evening, she sat at her kitchen table, had a beer, and entered a state of deep creative focus. Within a few hours, she wrote the first version of a story about a girl and polar bears.
After hundreds of revisions, the story evolved into a children’s book about Ina, a young girl who starts a club to protect polar bears and fight climate change.
Behind the book Ina and the Polar bear Club
Ina and the Polar bear Club is a creative collaboration with:
Nancy Grönholm – illustration
Malin Ringsby – graphic design
Jenny Asp – text and editing
Like many children today, Ina feels overwhelmed by melting ice, endangered wildlife, and climate anxiety. Instead of giving up, she takes action by:
1️⃣ Turning her anxiety into action
2️⃣ Teaming up with others
3️⃣ Changing what she can influence
Through courage, teamwork, and hope, Ina shows that even small actions can make a big difference.
