In this complex and visually stunning picture book, Bang tells the story of activist Diane Wilson, a commercial shrimper who almost single-handedly forced Formosa Plastics to agree to stop polluting the Texas bays. The book is sometimes overloaded with information as well as rhetoric, but collages of newspaper accounts, governmental reports, and photos provide a strong context for the events.
