 Lucy lives in the yellow house on the hill, at the end of the lane, in a village filled with lakes and forests, on a big continent, on a blue planet. When Lucy smiles, the sun smiles. She can feel the Earth’s heart beating, inside her heart. The wind tells her all the bad things that humans are doing to the planet. When the planet gets sick, Lucy’s tears travel from the wings of a dragonfly all across the planet to a boy named Tama who also knows how to listen to the whispers of the wind. Lucy’s story spreads across the globe, everyone does their part to heal the Earth, and hope is born. Soft illustrations complement the story about climate change. mjw |
