A beautiful ode to our planet and a clarion call to protect it.

* "Earth's beauty and fragility provide the impetus for activism in this introduction to climate change...An attractive entree to a vital subject for the youngest citizens." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The book's overall tone is hopeful, centered around the conviction that, just as we can exacerbate the effects of climate change, so too can we forestall and reverse them...will educate young readers without demoralizing them." -- School Library Journal

"Gracefully illuminates how when one person, and one person... become many they can change a planet. Soontornvat's sparse text packs a powerful punch and allows Rahele Jomepour Bell the space to construct sublime illustrations that deliver an equally effective blow...has the potential to inspire all." -- Shelf Awareness

Small, quiet,

insignificant.

and one person,

and one person

become many,

they can change

a planet.
