Comments:

So told in a rhythmic and flowing ease, this story starts with the beauty of the earth, moves to the darkness of how progression has created issues for the world we live in, changing it drastically, and then lightens with renewed hope of how we can work together to conserve and share this world.  The images are lovely and scary and cheerful... each image fitting the words and provoking emotion.

This book fit my new conservation kick perfectly.

Note: I couldn't verify that the Jessica Alexander who co-authored this is the same one I found a website/Facebook/Twitter for.  If they are the same person, these all need updated.  If not, my apologies... [Website][Twitter][Facebook]
