As parents and teachers we often wonder how to initiate children into environmental awareness and of the fragile world they have been born to inhabit. We often wonder if we can talk about climate change with small children, or if there’s a way of letting them in on the wise use of resources to lessen its impact. It’s not an easy job to undertake as it involves abstract thinking and the ability to make cause and effect connections, something in which we, as adults, who have brought them to this threatened world have miserably failed.
This tiny book in a square format and thick paper, tries to repair the short-circuit in human imagination with the anguished utterance of a poet committed passionately to the well-being of children facing a dark world.
