Abstract

This essay provides contemporary explanations of the eco-fiction genre and how Dragonfly.eco—a collaborative project exploring such fiction—has evolved over the last ten years. The site's curator, Mary Woodbury, offers a tour guide of the content: reviews, author interviews, music, games, films, and a database of more than 1,000 books. The article also focuses on how children's fiction and climate literacy fits into Dragonfly and provides a site road map for finding teacher's resources. Woodbury acknowledges her interview with Mohammed Ahmed, founding director of Western Sydney Sweatshop literacy movement and editor of After Australia, as well as Edan Lepucki's short story, "There's No Place Like Home" (part of Amazon Original Stories' Warmer collection), as significant sources of inspiration for literacy, including children's climate literacy.
