"""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. The general message is of positivity, reassurance for children that they aren’t solely responsible for fixing the planet, and empowerment to galvanize them into becoming the type of adult who does change the world. * NetGalley Reviewer *"
