Verdy, A Seed For Change In The City Picture Book
An environmental tale about nature & the community
Description
An inspiring picture book with a whimsical creature Verdy, who shows us the importance of nature and communities coming together.
Verdy, who lives in a tranquil woodland, is a protector of the environment 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 the unthinkable happens and 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? A wonderful story of how we can all make a difference to where we live and how communities can come together to create positive change.
Full of lovely illustrations, children will adore Verdy and his ever-changing appearance.
Guide age range: 4-8 years
Made with paper & love, from you to me.
Why we love it
We love the little creature called Verdy and the stalk on the top of his head that changes depending on his environment, who is brought to life through the detailed illustrations. With some powerful messages around nature, it’s ultimately a story of hope and shows the positive impact of people taking action together.
