Description

From awardwinning Nordic author and illustrator Linda Bondestam comes a new kind of climate change story, narrated by an adorable axolotl who ispossiblythe last of its kind.In a forest of seaweed there was ME, a rare and beautiful little axolotl, going for my firstever swim.So graceful, and yet so lonesomeout of 987 eggs, mine was the only one that hatched.Who knows, maybe I was the last axolotl in these waters?At the bottom of a lake in Mexico City, our axolotl narrator goes to underwater school, collects treasures tossed away by the big lugs on land, and has dance parties with tiger salamander friends. Life is good!But as the world gets hotter and hotter, the water gets murkier. Friends become harder to find, and the lonesome axolotl grows even lonelier. Until one day when, out of the blue, a colossal wave carries the axolotl into a surprising new future....Bittersweet, droll, existential, and hopeful, My Life at the Bottom is a tale from the climate crisis unlike any other. Combining her irresistible visual wit with exquisite aquatic art and rare empathy, Linda Bondestam brings us a story of catastrophe that bursts with life.
