”On distant planet Gala, many Galinos have a bad case of wastefulness. Sound familiar?... Cold comfort to know we are the not the only environmentally destructive hooligans in the universe.” - Kirkus Reviews "A book to help us appreciate nature and learn the urgency of protecting it through a fun adventure with friends." - Kirkus Reviews "An environmentally conscious and thought-provoking story....Readers are asked to think critically about environmental issues and the challenges and sacrifices that must be made in order to keep our planet healthy. Colorful pencil-on-paper illustrations enhance the organic and Earth-inspired text. Accurate translation from Spanish to English makes this import easy to read.
