Children of the throne / [text] Joseph Coelho ; [illustrations] Richard Johnson.

Coelho, Joseph. (Author). Johnson, Richard, 1976- (Added Author).

Summary:

In this moving, hopeful story, three children are gazing down from their high-rise windows at leaves hitting the hot pavements. The summer is hotter than ever before, and the trees are tricked into thinking it is autumn. They wonder why the grown-ups are pleased by the good weather, rather than worried for the trees. A wise tree shows the children how to conjure rain and look after the forest, but in bravely finding a short-term solution, they inspire and awaken a long-term commitment in the grown ups around them. Together, they all rediscover the hidden power of reconnecting with nature, setting a topsy-turvy world the right way up, and protecting it for future generations. This important first look at climate change and protecting the natural world is brought to life by sweeping, emotive illustrations from Richard Johnson, close collaborator with Coelho on Our Building. A soft and subtle way to highlight the importance of nature-restoration efforts, this beautiful book highlights the lesser-known signs of climate change in urban environments, providing children aged 5+ with details about what to look out for in the world around them.
