Why this is an important and powerful book for children and our planet
When young children hear about environmental challenges outside of their understanding or influence they can feel worried and disempowered.
This book helps children know that the biggest and best difference they can make for the planet is to care for the nature that's right outside their door.
It shows them that when each of us care for nature in our own backyards, balconies, classrooms and neighbourhoods, together our collective actions can make a big difference for the planet.
