Overview

After a devastating war leaves the world in ruins, the skies fall silent-and the machines built for destruction lie broken and forgotten. But in the cracked heart of a dying city, an eleven-year-old girl named Mika finds a fallen drone and dares to imagine a different future. Instead of fear, she programs it with kindness. Instead of commands to destroy, she teaches it to plant. With the help of a small group of determined children, Mika begins to reprogram more drones-turning war machines into gentle gardeners, composters, seed-scatterers, and water-bringers. As rooftops bloom and hope takes root, the city slowly awakens. But not everyone is ready to trust the tools that once brought so much pain. This is a powerful and hopeful tale of resilience, renewal, and the courage of young dreamers. The Drones That Learned to Plant is a beautifully illustrated middle-grade story that shows how even the most broken things can be transformed-and how peace can be coded, one seed at a time.

Author Information

Beverley Lilliann Alice Joubert is an eclectic South African storyteller based in the Karoo town of Willowmore. She writes across age groups and genres-whimsical children's picture books and activity titles, Scripture-grounded devotionals, heart-tugging romances, and edge-of-your-seat mysteries and supernatural thrillers. Anchored in faith and a love for everyday miracles, Beverley's books celebrate courage, compassion, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people. Her granddaughter often inspires her children's stories, while her rural surroundings and South African heritage lend texture and authenticity to her adult fiction. When she isn't plotting a new series or polishing a manuscript, she's likely sketching ideas for illustrations, sipping rooibos, or walking under the wide Karoo sky with her husband, Shaun.
