Front cover of a kids picture book, Why Daddy's Law Firm works with the Nice Oil Men

Dear Serious People

We can't wait to share with you our first ever children's book.

On a chilly winter night, a little penguin dared to wonder: if Daddy loves me, why does his law firm facilitate fossil fuel expansion?

‘Why Daddy’s law firm works for the nice oil men’ is an instant modern classic, suitable for all ages. 

“Now our kids wake up screaming less” - Parent
“A sound legal argument for participating in a global crisis” - Lawyer

Between 2020 and 2024, London law firms facilitated $59.84 billion in fossil fuel transactions*. Whatever story oil and gas lawyers tell themselves about their professional ethics, they are accountable for the world they create.

Join us March 4th 6.30-7.30pm at Libreria Bookshop 65 Hanbury St, London E1 5JP for a book reading from the author, drinks and talks from our guests.
