Hope Jones hates cars - they turn the air brown and make everyone
sick. Her friend Selma has asthma, and Hope's bogeys are black, not
green like they should be! There's an air pollution problem where
Hope lives, and she's decided to do something about it. Writing on
her blog and protesting outside her school, Hope has decided to
clear the air by taking on the cars. But with adults so busy
thinking about their busy lives, can one child really make a
difference?
'A call to arms for the next generation of eco-warriors, full of
practical ideas and activities to encourage wildlife and a love of
the natural world' - The Bookseller 'This is my pledge, my promise,
my vow, Lasting forever, starting now: I'll be a friend to nature.'
An illustrated book celebrating the natural world and ways to
appreciate it, filled with practical activities and ideas to help
wildlife and the environment on your doorstep and worldwide.
Starting with a pledge in poetic form, this book is a call to arms
for the next generation of peaceful eco warriors. Broken down into
sections of activities, each lyrically relates back to the metaphor
of being a friend to nature. The activities themselves are short,
easy, and fun, with a few more extensive projects mixed in. These
are interspersed with nature quotes, poetry, and other
thought-provoking musings, as well as pieces of simple non-fiction
information, such as the life cycle of a frog, a butterfly, a cross
section of a flowering plant, and why you should always wish on a
dandelion clock. The final section explores what nature can give
back to us in turn; that if we look after the natural world, we
will always have a friend in nature - a space to be calm, to pause
and think, to recharge, to bring us joy, amusement, and health.
