Description

In this beautiful tale written by Lucie Papineau and Caroline Hamel who gave us the amazingThe Strongest Man in the World, follow the adventures of Lucy, a little girl with a very special gift. She can make the sun smile, but when the Earth gets sick, Lucy too can feel it. Her tears travel from the wings of a dragonly all across the planet where a little boy finally understands what is going on.

Her story then spreads across the globe and everyone makes their own little gesture to heal the Earth and Lucy. And, although it will take her time to heal, Hope is born.

Children will be introduced to the subjects of Climate Change and the protection of nature in an accessible and poetic way.

The soft illustrations are all the more impactful for this serious topic.
