‘Verdy, A Seed For Change In The City’ is our new children’s picture book, featuring a charming, whimsical character, Verdy, who serves to highlight the importance of nature and the power of communities coming together to create positive change. These are themes that we strongly support in our approach to business; “We can’t do everything, we can’t do nothing, but we can do something”.

A protector of the environment, Verdy lives in a tranquil woodland and is so in tune with nature that wherever he goes, flowers and leaves grow out of the end of the stalk on the top of his head. Sadly, one day his home is threatened, catapulting him into the hustle and bustle of city life. Scared and confused, he does his best to help the plants and animals there, but who will help him?

Written and beautifully illustrated by Joseph Witchall, the story of Verdy is aimed at 4 to 8 year olds, and is sure to engage both children and adults in a conversation about how individuals can all make a difference, and also inspire them to connect with nature, as well as with their local community. Children will adore Verdy and his ever-changing appearance.

Ultimately a story of hope, it shows the positive impact of people taking action together and links in perfectly with our strategy for reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring that sustainability is a key aspect of everything we do. You can read more here.
