An earth-themed mantra for our times.
A picture book exploring the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable living.They said I couldn't change the world; it wasn't worth the fight. But in my head, a small voice said...maybe you might. A young girl makes a choice to plant a seed by a long dead riverbed. Little does she know that from this single, small act, a vibrant ecosystem will grow. This inspiring poem - bursting with hope for a greener world - is a love letter to our ailing planet. It shows us that even when the future appears most bleak, each one of us can make a difference.
“Narrated in beautiful, uplifting, lyrical verse by the child, this lovely book is about the glorious fulfilment of hope and supports the idea that one small person might change the world. The mixed-media illustrations are stunning and perfectly suit the text… This gorgeous book shimmers with hope and possibilities.”
-Kirkus Review, STARRED
"I can see this beautiful book being shared with young children as a way to reassure them about all the ongoing stories about climate change that can be frightening. This tells them that they can do small things to make a difference and that planting and caring for trees is something they can all help with. Apart from this important underlying message, it has a calm, slow atmosphere to be relished and enjoyed. Strongly recommended."
-Letterpress Project
"The hopeful, rhyming text pairs with Anna Cunha’s dreamy, award-nominated art to inspiring effect."
