Description
A little girl's encounter with a baby rhino inspires the greening of her city neighbourhood.
Little Rhino Lost tells the story of a young rhino, lost in the big, crowded city, afraid that his mummy will never find him. He's far from home, with no tall trees, yummy leaves, or green grass anywhere.
Maya, a little girl, wants to help. But what can she do to make her home a place that Little Rhino's mummy will come to? Can Maya and everyone around her turn their homes and their city into a welcoming green space, filled with flowers, plants, and trees—somewhere a little rhinoceros could call home?
This enchanting story shows how kindness, determination, and community spirit can come together to bring about real change and make our cities greener.
