One More Chair

Twenty Lives That Changed the World, and the Seat Waiting for You

One More Chair tells the stories of twenty people, ten from around the world and ten from Canada, including Terry Fox, Nelson Mandela, Viola Desmond, Malala Yousafzai, Wangari Maathai and Autumn Peltier. It looks at why their choices still move us, and how each of them chose differently at a moment that mattered.

It ends by pulling up one more chair for you, the reader, with questions about the climate, food and energy challenges this generation faces.
