"I like the environmental message. The shorter length of each story also makes the book more accessible to younger audience. * NetGalley Reviewer *
The tales offer our little ones food for thought on how our precious planet might be fixed. Lauren James does a great job of summarizing each one and the facts that have created the fiction plus gentle observations and providing suggestions about how we can make a difference in our lifestyle choices.
