You have the power to pass down ... a different kind of crown.
Speaking from the future, a girl wears a crown made from the rubbish passed down to her by previous generations. Her Earth is covered by waste, but beneath the landfill, she discovers a book of pictures that show her the past – our world as it is now – and she is filled with joy by the beautiful sky, land, sea, and creatures that she sees.
Alongside her companion horse, she experiences the beauty of our Earth and imagines a world where her crown is no longer made from rubbish, but from an abundance of life.
This is a lyrical, stunningly illustrated debut that expresses our need to act now to save the environment, while weaving a positive message about protecting the world we live in.
