Winner of the 2021 World Literacy Award! The Morning Tribe is a
middle grade action-adventure graphic novel that showcases young
people protecting our critical environment and teaches that we are
all part of the struggle to save the Earth's future and sustain the
human race. When twins Dawn and Dusk, young members of the Amazon
rain forest's Morning Tribe, discover that their homeland is being
threatened by Global Agricorp mercenaries, they gather their
friends and rise to the challenge of protecting it. Though they're
naturally smart, strong, and quick, the twins also each have
special abilities. Dusk is stronger, faster, and more powerful as
the sun sets. Dawn is farther-sighted, a better swimmer, and a
gifted acrobat as the sun rises. They are at the height of their
power together at midnight. But young Tom Toll, estranged son of
Agricorp's boss, ventures alone into the forest intent on
destroying the people of the Morning Tribe, and finds himself in
danger. He is saved by Dusk and Dawn and a deep bond forms between
them as Tom gains an understanding not only of the forest, but of
shared values and a greater global mission. When the trio of
youngsters save Tom's father and the Agricorp crew, who are
attempting to burn the rain forest, it changes the relationship
between father and son into a positive one forever. The Morning
Tribe's theme and content derive from the work of the White Feather
Foundation created in 2007 by Julian Lennon-recipient of the UNESCO
2020 Cross Cultural and Peace Crafter Award-that has been active in
the rain forest for more than a decade. A portion of the proceeds
from book sales will go to support the environmental and
humanitarian efforts of The White Feather Foundation.
