Review Quotes
Incredibly beautiful and powerful. I think his message on love as a driver for change with regard to the climate is incredibly profound.
This is a beautifully written letter to a son who died in a climbing accident made more likely by human-induced climate change.
Even though this book has a sad undertone, the way the author uses his grief to pursue a mission for his son is to be commended. 52 solar panels is ultimately a story of hope and what we can all do together to save our planet.
John's letters and poems give us glimpses of his son, Alex - the child, the adolescent, the man - and the raw grief caused by his sudden loss.
John Moorhead-Guinea asks a provocative question for all of us: what if you loved planet earth in the same way we love our families? Through the terrible tragedy of the death of his son, he has the reader experience the grief he feels and then compares it to the disappearance of our natural world from climate change.
Such an amazing book! I can say with certainty I would have liked Alex and, in addition to his many talents, I admire the values he embraced.
I was also inspired by the openness around such profound love and loss and choosing to move forward, with the support of friends and family, in a direction of personal meaning.
