No More Room

"Frightened and saddened by the looming threats of habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and the ultimate prospect of mass extinction, we made this book to explain to children why so many once-beloved creatures are severely reduced in number or no longer on Earth鈥攖here is no more room." ~Gabrielle, Hannah, and Leah

About the Book

"The inspiration for No More Room was a presentation by Dr. David Warners at Calvin during our January 2019 DCM (Developing a Christian Mind) course, Truth and Reconciliation: The Artist Response 1. Warners spoke of creation as a gift, valued not because it was bought or earned, but because God is the gift-giver. As grateful recipients of such a gift, we designed a children鈥檚 book for our end-of-term project to inspire future generations to protect and preserve creation.

We were challenged to consider our calling as Christians to restore justice and our ability as artists to use our work for this restoration. Through the words of Dr. Warners and by further exploring the effects of environmental injustice, we came to the undeniable conclusion that creation care is a fundamental Christian calling; it is not optional. However, the call to sustainability is not only a call to environmental stewardship and beyond, but also to acknowledge our interdependence with creation.

In his speech, 'Why, as Christians, We Must Oppose Racism,' South African Arch-bishop Desmond Tutu says that 'we are made to live in a delicate network of interdependence with one another, with God, and with the rest of God鈥檚 creation.' We hoped to reflect these words from Desmond Tutu in our own book, because the truth is that we depend on the Earth for resources, beauty, shelter, and nourishment, and the Earth depends on us for protection, care, and appreciation."
